When we last saw, hugged, touched, and told Trey we loved was August 18th at 4:00 in the morning. Yes....I said 4:00 in the morning. It was such and emotional day and moment in our lives. I never knew the love you could feel for a child after only a few short weeks. Seeing families gathered around hugging and loving on their hosted child until the very last second, hearing cries and sobs from some of the children, feeling the emotion that was there at the airport was almost torture.
The moment I had to let him go and he had to go down the escalator I couldn't catch my breath. Really...it hurt my heart and it even scared me a little because it was so hard to breath. I knew that moment I wasn't letting go of a sweet child we hosted but I was sending my/our son....our brother....back to China.
We all cried, we all hugged each other in the ca,r and then we all prayed.
Now comes the good part......As John says, "I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."
We prayed and felt confirmation to go and proceed with adoption.
This won't be forever....we will see you again, we will hold you again, we will laugh with you again, we will tell you we love you again, we will have fun with you again, and we will be a FAMILY again.
Please help us to bring Trey home. We ask for prayer:
1. prayers for paper work to go through smoothly.
2. Trey to feel loved and be excited about being a Wyatt
3. Funding to get him here!! We need to raise $34,000 more.
4. That we will get grants to help us with the money.
5. For our family to continue to pray and prepare our hearts to be a family of 5.
We are coming for you Trey......It will be forever....but this time it will be FOREVER with us!!
We love you,
Mom, Dad, Jiles and Lennon
