She’s all Ours!

“This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!” Libby Grace Maynard officially became part of our family forever on Tuesday!

Insert a huge sigh of relief here, I don’t think that I have been able to take a deep breath since last July when we began our journey to Miss Libby Grace. Once I knew she was out there waiting to become part of our family I couldn’t help but feel like a piece of our family was missing and once we held her in our arms we knew she had to be ours forever! The adoption experience is a combination of so many emotions both good and bad but the waiting was hard both before and after she was born. Waiting for her to be born and wondering if she would be coming home with us was certainly the hardest but waiting these last four and a half months for finalization was tough too, so many what ifs, but no more!! No more waiting, no more wondering if everything will all work out because it has and she is ours forever more! I felt that I have known it in my heart all along from the first we heard of her , from the first time I prayed for her but now to be finalized is the best feeling! This has certainly been a growing experience for me, I have learned to trust in God and have real faith more than ever. They were hard lessons to learn and I was and still am not always good about just trusting and obeying but through Gods Grace I was rewarded more than I could have ever imagined with the love of a sweet little baby girl. I am flying high now, feeling nothing but sweet love and joy with a truly thankful heart! We have been extremely blessed to have been through the whole adoption process and finalized in just under year, God is truly amazing and Libby is truly a blessing and an answer to so many prayers! Thank you to all who have walked along and prayed with our family through this amazing journey, we are so thankful for all of you and you will forever be apart of Miss Libby’s story!
