Oh Happy Day!

Some happy happy news for you this fine Thursday!

Remember this sweetest little bitty squishy face?

That’s Cliffy.

Well, I guess that’s not right anymore.

You see, Cliff was the name given to this sweet boy by the folks at Reece’s Rainbow.

Cliff is one of a number of orphans in Eastern Europe who not only is left without a mommy and daddy…but also has Down Syndrome.

Over the holidays, we here at Life Rearranged rallied for this boy and raised $9, 458 for his adoption fund!

BUT.

His new mom and dad have named him Joshua.

Oh what?

Did I sneak that in?

A new mommy and daddy?

Yep!

Lisa and Dave are IN COUNTRY RIGHT THIS SECOND to pick up little Joshua and BRING HIM HOME!!!!

I’m so so so excited to get to share in this journey and I can’t wait to see the pictures of this little face in his mama’s arms.

I feel like an internet Auntie.  :)

Lisa is hoping to blog regularly while she is in country so you can follow along on her journey to bring this little boy home too!

I know that many of you found your hearts wrapped up in this little boy, so I wanted to be sure you knew that your portion mattered!

Your hearts, your dollars, your prayers made a difference!

Awesome.

I'm a mom to four. A wife to one. I believe in story. I love telling you about mine and would love to hear yours. There's really no sense in wasting our suffering and not sharing in each other's joy. We're all in this together...even if it doesn't always feel like it.
