Building Families Through The Miracle Of Adoption

What's in a name?

Waiting for God to place a child in your care in definitely in His timing.
The day we received our tiny miracles photos I yelled HALLELUJAH...only by God's Grace what a Divine miracle. So, now you know the meaning behind HALLElujah-GRACE DEVINE. Her full name is Halle-Grace Khanh Devine. You know she will just love mommy when she has to learn to write her name! The nannies named her Khanh...which means precious stone or gem. When I found out that one of the meanings for Halle is "rock" I knew the name was perfect for Halle-Grace! My niece is Hannah and one of the meanings for the name Hannah is "grace" so that is very fitting! Her name has meaning but her life story is enough to just call her MIRACLE! We think she has the most beautiful and special name!
She is our gift from God! I want her to always know how loved she is and how HE selected us to be a family. I have heard the saying "regardless of how motherhood comes to you, it is a miracle". When I saw her face in a photo, God revealed His plan and she stole my heart! I have carried her in the MOST special way...in my heart and trusting 100% on God to provide for her needs through the amazing caretakers at her orphanage.
The lyrics to a song, "I've got all I've waited for and I could not ask for more" pretty much sums up the feeling.
Please continue to pray for Halle-Grace and our journey to one another. We are ready!

Thank you for the prayers!
