Gotcha Day...Momma style

Christina here again....

I don't have much of an update other than the homecoming went very well! She and Joshua are at the hospital now and getting settled. He was quite tired and got some rest in the car. I don't have much more to report at the moment but I do have pictures!!! I think the pictures speak for themselves. Praise be to God.

Meant to add earlier that Sonia wanted to thank you all, once again, for all of your prayers and support. We've got him this far with our prayers now lets keep it going to get him well!

























 Jacob and Joey were quite proud of their signs they made for their new brother. Must have been such a comfort for JJ to have signs that he could read!



I love this picture so much, I may just make it my new FB profile picture. She won't mind, right?



 Brand new Family of 9!!

  11. Thanks be to God mighty things He has done!

    Joshua John is with his very own mama! Oh what a wait for that sweet little man to have a mom to call his own. The wait is over now, she's all yours baby boy, and we think you're gonna like her. A lot. Welcome home sweet Joshua! Congratulations John & Sonia and family!

    Love the pictures, love the obvious "love at first sight"!

    So grateful that JJ is safely home. Praying for everyone . . . new mama, Joshua, jet-lagged daddy and brother (and Joshua) . . . the whole crew of J boys . . . the medical staff . . . the translators . . . and for someone to make sure that Sonia has her coffee . . . just the way she likes it . . . whenever she needs it! Thank you Lord that You are in the details--the big details and the small details, and every single one in between! We praise you and we ask you to continue to do miracles for your Joshua! Rescue his heart Lord and renew it to do the job it was designed to do! In Jesus' name, Amen.

    Love you Sonia, so proud of you!
