We interrupt this family blog for a story about another child....whose life is connected to ours in a way that only Jesus Himself could orchestrate.
Many of you may remember that last year our family was contacted and asked to advocate for Xiao Yong. It was when we began to advocate for him that God led us to our Drew. (Read more about this story on a Memorial Box post here.
Today is Xiao Yong's day!!!
He was left behind time after time and year after year. He WAS the only child remaining at the foster home where our Ellie lived. Many children have come and found their families. Many new faces always coming, always leaving. Xiao Yong was always staying.
He had developed a habit of asking any male volunteers who came to the foster home, "Big Brother, will you play with me?"
But, God who loves the fatherless was orchestrating a plan for Xiao Yong. Our family had the privilege of praying for him from Friday to Monday...when we learned a family was committing to him, a forever family.
Now, just over one year later. Xiao Young met his Baba!!!!
(That's "daddy" in Chinese.)
Sing Hallelujah with me!
