Daniel Aaron Dove

One year ago today, after a very long court hearing where the judge read our entire dossier, we were allowed to legally add a little guy in Mariupol to our family as our second child.

A boy who would rock. our. world. Daniel, aka Gremlin, aka our little spark plug, aka the Tazmanian Devil. His life would never be the same. And neither would ours!

God moved mountains to bring this little man into our lives. He softened hearts and did the impossible. So many details fell into place during the journey that by human interpretation simply don't make sense.

But God's work doesn't always fit into our finite minds, or even into our plans. He is much greater, and so is His plan for us!

Today, we celebrate one less. Yes, we still had the 10 day wait ahead of us. But it was one less step in the adoption journey, and one less orphan in the world.

One less orphan...one more awesome Grandchild for us to love and spoil. His smile and laugh light up all of our lives. What a blessing that precious little man is to all of us with his 1000-Watt smile. He's a treasure!!

It's truly astounding how God leads us to the children He has planned for us! Congrats on one year!
