Divine Appointment

My friend Melanie is in Ethiopia for her court date. Her daughter is in the same house as Miss B. This is what she said when she met her today.

"Oh, so I think God had a divine appointment for me today. My friend, Lynsey, is adopting a little girl, too, and is waiting on a court date. She and my daughter are in the same foster home, so she asked me to grab a photo. When we got there, we realized that the kids were in different rooms and we were only allowed in the room where ESD was. I thought, uh-oh, there’s no way I’m going to find Lynsey’s girl. Well, Miss B found ME! I sat down on the floor by the kids, and this adorable girl makes a BEELINE for me, barreling past the other kids and sits in my lap. I actually thought, hmm, she’s the right age and looks like she could be her, but no way, that would be too much of a coincidence. Alex asked the caregiver what her name was and she said it – it was her! Miss B sat in my lap over and over, ran around playing with bubbles, would come back over to hug me really hard, played with my camera, and had me pick her up. She wanted to give up snack just to have me hold her. So Lynsey, today while my eyes were locked on my daughter, I was holding yours tight. I got to be your arms today and love on your little one. She’s such a delight – a leader, a force of nature, strong and healthy and loving and she knows what she wants. She’s curious and independent and HAPPY. I got some great pics."

I thought I had run out of tears after the last few days, I was WRONG! Oh my heart!
