Hope Gala




Tuesday we went to the Generations Hope Gala. That is our adoption agency's annual fundraiser. It was amazing!!! Here are a few highlights:


*Since we were one of the families that adopted last year we were one of the VIPs. :) We were able to go up on stage and be introduced. As we were walking up on the stage they introduced us and people clapped. As soon as the audience clapped guess who clapped and kicked her legs??? Abigail!! It was hilarious. Everyone laughed. She was so excited and happy. She clapped after every name was announced. There must have been 20 families! She truly lights up a room with her smile!


*We also were so blessed to see the doctor that delivered Abigail and the nurses that were there in the hospital when she was born. They said that it was an amazing experience to be a part of. I can't wait to share this with Abigail as part of her "birth" story. We took pictures with them and introduced them to my parents.


*We sat at the same table as Abigail's transitional family, Kristi & David. It is amazing how God brought them into our lives. They will be a part of our family forever! We cherish them so much.


*We talked with a few other adoptive families and many of our friends from church and around Waco were there to celebrate the occasion.




All in all it was an amazing night. We were so proud to show off our little angel and share with everyone how God brought her to us through adoption. It was extra special to share that with my parents. They hadn't met anyone from Generations and it was so neat to bring both sides of the story together.




That is all for now. Dinner is waiting to be cooked......God bless you all.


Love,


Jenny
