It is somewhat of a tradition among adoptive parents to make a video of their adoption journey. As their children grow they can watch "their story" as a reminder of how much they were loved and longed for even before they were born. Many times while we were waiting for Evelyn's arrival Patrick would come in and find me crying while staring at the computer watching someone else's story of the journey to their child. Although these were happy tears of joy and anticipation there was also an ache in my heart for our daughter to be home in our arms. Now I can proudly say that we have our own story and I can watch it from beginning to end. It is a beautiful story that only the Lord could write, and we are very thankful to be a part of it. Here it is.
This is Evelyn's Road Home.

ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your video! What an awesome story! I've followed y'all but never commented. I grew up in Carthage (Meaghan Bailey)...I was just a little kid when Patrick and his brothers were teenagers, so I'm not sure he'd remember me. Anyway, my family just announced that we are adopting from Ethiopia. I can't wait until we have our own video! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely reduced to a puddle after watching this! What a beautiful video!
