God has a sense of humor

With all of the little miracles that have happened during this process, I find myself saying that "God has a sense of humor" quite a bit.

One of the things people need to understand is that adoptive moms are very excited about getting their kids home. We often lose patience with the waiting process. We are desperate for any glimpse, update or report of  our kiddo.

Here are a couple of examples of God's sense of humor...

Below is a rare photo taken from inside Ben's orphanage. See the little girl in the bottom, right corner of the photo? That is the same little girl in the photo with Ben I found online back in March (or April?). I am sure that Ben must be in that photo somewhere.

Here is a video taken of a charming young man who is at the same orphanage as Ben. See the little hands across the table from him? That's Ben! If you wait and look close, there are two split moments where Ben's little face emerges at the right side of the frame. Pan right, camera man, pan right! This was the first time I got to hear Ben's voice. Do you think it would be a bit much if I made his giggle my new ring tone?

For guys: You know when you are out of lives on Candy Crush? Multiply that by 10k and it is still doesn't compare to the waiting pain moms feel at this point.
