Another One Comes Home

Tonight, we welcome the Benson family back to the United States. They are bringing home sweet Michael from Northern China. Michael is the third precious child from China to join our children's ministry at church, and is the first of three who will be adopted from overseas sometime this year. He's 2 1/2 and from his family's blog, seems to be quite the little charmer.

If you think to pray, there are a lot of adjustments for this family, and particularly for Michael. Those first weeks home in a country where everyone looks, sounds and smells different can be overwhelming to a child...particularly one who doesn't have the communications skills yet to share what he's feeling or needing. It can also be hard on the parents who want so badly to meet their child's needs, but don't know what they are.

It's so exciting to see more families in our church being moved to adoption and bringing these precious kiddos home.

Can't wait to go to the airport!
