at 8:22 the phone rang.
our case worker, patricia, said he's yours.
how did this happen?!?!? i cried. our court date isn't until tomorrow.
she replied, i have no idea.
but then again, we know exactly how it happened.
"shout for joy to the lord, all the earth. worship the lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. know that the lord is god. it is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. for the lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithflness continues through all generations."
(psalm 100)
and now, after 148 days of having a son in our hearts that we couldn't introduce, we would be honored for you to meet micah. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rejoicing with you!!!!!!!
as an adopted child, i am so happy for you guys. my mom put a framed poem up in my room growing up that read,
"Not flesh of my flesh
nor bone of my bone,
but still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
that you grew not under my heart,
but in it."
congrats!
So, so excited for all of you!!!! What an amazing testimony he has already. He is beautiful!!!
i'm waiting for my baby boy to come home, too. in an entirely different way. we're in the hospital one day past open heart surgery. he's 3 1/2 months old and we've been in the nicu for all of his life but 2 1/2 weeks. i am sitting in the lactation center making milk for him right now. and sobbing with joy over your video of your precious, precious baby boy. he is phenomenal! congratulations a million times over! i'm certainly adding your blog to the short list of those i follow (right next to anna wamsted's...that's how i found you after all) :o)
blessings and peace!

I was led to pray for you through your sweet friends at BH, and I'm so thankful for your miracle. Praising Him with you...
I'm just speechless, but I know I shouldn't be for GOD CAN DO ANYTHING and you have all been so faithful and trusting in Him and I'm just so thrilled that your prayers were answered "yes" and that you will be bringing little Micah home. Hugs, hugs, hugs to all of you and I can't wait to give Micah one in person!
YAY! Congratulaions! He's so gorgeous! And chubby! And sweet!
Lord Your Word says that if we believe and trust and have faith in You and Your Word that You will do for us more than we ever could imagine. Thank You Lord that You demonstrate that again and again! Thank You Lord for Your precious miracle in Micah! I thank You Lord for the miracle that you have given Micah in choosing such faithful and godly parents as Josh and Allison. I praise you Lord for Your faithfulness! Hallelujah! Amen Love you! Vickey Pierson

Beautiful. Congrats!
As beautiful as our prayers are to God. Congratulations!
Hey Guys,
I had to wait until I could stop crying before I could write anything that made sense. I am so proud of the Godly man and woman I have watched you become. He has given you an abundance of love to give and now a new, BEAUTIFUL, precious son to shower that love on. God truly blessed our lives when He chose you to become husband and wife, and later mom and dad. Now, Micah is blessed because God has allowed him to become your chosen son. I am so happy for you and all the kids and am eager to meet our newest God-grandchild.
I love you very much,
Uncle Ron
I am so amazed by God!!! I was praying for you guys all during my Bible study yesterday and We are studying Isaiah and yesterday was Chapter 49 and verse 23 kept coming up... "Those who trust in me will never be disapointed". His plan is often not our plan, but His is supremely better! Loveyou all!
Speechless.....and awed by the work of our God....
He is beautiful! So excited for all! Love the song...might have to use it!
I have been priveleged to follow your blog after Anna Wamsted recommended it to me. Your new son is absolutely precious. The video made me cry happy tears. I'm honored to share this special moment with your family. Praise the Lord!
Allison,
I have followed your story on the blog, which I came across one day on Sherry Faucet's facebook page. Such wonderful news for your family, and the newest addition. May God continue to lead you.

I am in tears...rejoicing with you over the Beautiful gift of your son, Micah, straight from our Sweet and Sovereign Lord! Love you!
I just found your blog through my cousin, so we don't know each other personally, but I just couldn't help saying, "Congratulations!!"
We are working towards adoption right now as well, and I love hearing about how God is allowing your son to come home. Whether we win or lose we praise Him - but isn't it so much fun to praise Him in moments of overwhelming blessings such as this?
So happy for your family!
Allison, I haven't seen you since Samford, but I've been praying for you and your family and MICAH ever since Anna sent an email my way. I have to tell you that I just cried happy tears all through that precious video, but when the video was at the part where he is asleep and your tears show that you are overwhelmed with gratitude and love... holy cow! I just lost it... Oh God is so incredibly good to us. He is incredibly adorable. I haven't even watched another video yet... but I am sure the one where he meets the rest of the family I will be boo hooing again. This is such a picture of God's amazing LOVE!
So we are officially laughing and crying at the same time! He's such a cute little chunk :-) Love you
Praise God!!! I'm so excited for y'all! The video was precious - there's nothing more "right" than a sweet baby being held in the loving arms of his mommy and daddy! Can't wait to meet him in person! Love, Leanne
