This is a story told in the words of my nine-year-old daughter. A hard, sad story that surprised us both when tears snuck out in the middle of telling it. She and her brothers have waited a long, long time for this yes and she walks us through what helped and how it felt.

If you're in a season of waiting, you're not alone. We really do believe God is with us. With us in the tears and frustration and questions. We do not wait alone.
