This isn't the most flattering picture of me.. This is the day we met Asher! I'll never forget that day. It was October 6, 2005. We drove all day from our home in Arizona to Las Vegas, NV. I remember walking throughout the hospital trying to figure out where we needed to go. We met the social worker and she gave us our wrist bands. We were so nervous when we went into the nursery. Their were all these babies crying and we had no idea what ours looked like. The nurse wheeled him out and asked us if we knew how to change a diaper. She then had me show her. We were put in a tiny room (closet) that barely fit two rocking chairs and his bassinet. We took him out of his bassinet and held this beautiful baby boy. We prayed over him, & thanked God that we were given the opportunity to meet him. We were in absolute AWE of this incredible gift that God had given us. It was a BEAUTIFUL moment in mine and J's lives.
We then had to cut our visit short because there was a staff change. We went to dinner at Applebee's and then right back to the hospital to feed him. We left that night not knowing what the future held since the birth parents were signing over their rights the next day. The one thing we did know was that God was in control. We were at peace knowing that even if the birth parents changed their mind, this little boy had been prayed over and God would look after him.
