There are several significant dates that we remember in relation to William’s adoption:
- Nov 9: Metcha Day – the day we met our son for the first time
- Nov 21: William Day – the day we went to court, legally changed his name, and officially became his parents
- Dec 3: Gotcha Day – the day we sprung him from the orphanage
- Dec 7: America Day – the day we touched down on U.S. soil, William became a citizen, and we finally felt the weight of the adoption stress lifted
So today we celebrate “William Day”! You can read the post below about what happened one year ago today.
Today we will go to his school for the Thanksgiving Play and Feast. We will watch our son as he makes his acting debut as the Pilgrim Minister. And we’ll (hopefully) hear him say his line, “Praise the Lord!”
What a fitting line, as we are definitely praising the Lord on this day. In our own power, we could not have done this. But with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26) and He certainly paved the road that led us to our son.
