Miracle of Miracles

    Throughout my blog you can read the tiny miracles surrounding Talia's file, the dates on her file and how they were meaningful in our lives, how we received her file, how quickly we said "Yes" when everything was against us to be doing a 2nd adoption so soon, how we raised $20,000 in 6 months, how another $15,000 just came to us in order to complete the adoption, how she survived a heart attack at age 1 in an orphanage, how she lived past the first few days of life with the umbilical cord still attached on a factory doorstep. Everything pointed to this child being a miracle! Moreover, everything pointed to a higher authority watching over her every second. The Lord was clearly working through us for His almighty purpose and all the glory goes to Him. We jumped out in faith and took her file clearly knowing that she may not live a long healthy life. We jumped out in faith knowing we might only have her in our arms for a few years. We jumped out in faith not knowing how we would come up with $35,000. We jumped out in faith to honor and obey and this is what He did for us for being faithful. 





   Talia's heart is completely healed!!! She apparently was born with a very large VSD (8 mm), a hole in the lower chambers of her heart. She was blue, had breathing difficulties, was limp in a hospital but she survived. They revived her on the table and she survived! She still lived with the symptoms of a large VSD and since her file sounded really scary she waited and waited on the China children waiting lists. 


Are you ready for this????? Do you want to see how awesome our God is? Do you want to see what He can do? How powerful He is? 


We received Talia's file last June with no heart updates for the past year other then the information we received which said a tumor or mass in her heart.  I did not even ask the question but the the doctor at the end of the visit today said "If I had to guess when the hole closed and the tissue covered her hole.... I would say 12 months ago"! I nearly fell on the floor! 

We leaped.....


and He healed her on the spot! 


Amazing, right? 


Now we have been on the other side. When Harper first came home she was on the severe side with some surprise medical needs but Harper is our miracle girl too! She will have open heart surgery next summer to heal her ASD and her scoliosis is being corrected via her pretty pink brace. But we learned through Harper what life is really about and nothing in life is perfect. It is not suppose to be! Instead it is about relinquishing our control and relishing in the moments that have been created by God. He knows what is best for us! We need to let go and believe...believe that miracles happen everyday. 


Just in case you missed it here was my first post! It is incredible how it all worked out! Talk about the power of prayer. You made this all possible! God worked through every one of you reading this is some way or another to bring home our girl and now she gets to live a long and healthy life with her Mama, Baba and Jei Jei! May the Lord bless you for your kindness!
