This is what he calls me “Auntie Mom”.
Who is this beautiful child?
His name is Le’i. He is two years old with beautiful curls and big brown eyes. He is a true gift! He came into our lives needing love, care, acceptance and food! Right now we are fostering him in hopes it will lead to adoption.
I have had so many emotions, for the first week I was wondering what in the world have I done. I think I cried every day for two weeks, cried for me in fear I will not be able to meet his needs, cried for him in seeing his pain and realizing in the two years of his short life, its been a hard life.
He is a true and pure joy! I have not had this many dance parties, fits of laughter, lack of sleep, loss of tears, and knowing an unconditional love.
Please keep us in your prayers as we emarbk on this new journey, we want what is best for him. Le’i, if we only have you for a season you have enriched my life beyond measure, if its for the rest of our lives I would be honored and deeply humbled to call you my son.
You have tought me this.
