Chuck here, I am guest posting for Kathy. I have been thinking about posting my thoughts since our "Gotcha" moment. I am overwhelmed.... In an awesome way! This adoption has truly changed my life. Now I know everyone just said.... Duh. But the change I am speaking of is more than just another child in the house. It's a God change. I see life different. Grace, Mercy, Love, Affection, Tenderness, ..... It's all different now. My kids have changed, my wife has changed, and I have changed. My walk with the Precious Father is changing. It truly scares me to death to think I almost missed this. I was the one with doubts, fears and what ifs....? I want to say right here right now that there is nothing on this earth like a wife that hears the voice of God. My wife heard God and it changed our life. From the moment, December 28th 2009 ~ 4pm (in China), Kathy handed me Maggie it was like a light switch was flipped. I saw it. I know I am rambling.... The video below is good. Coach "O" says exactly what I was going to say and its in a video. To learn more about this family click here.

Chuck,
How refreshing to hear the experience from a man's perspective. Thank you for sharing. Isn't it amazing how God uses a child around the world to work on our hearts. Praise him for the miracle of adoption!
Thanks Chuck for giving us the dad's point of view of adoption. I do look forward to watching Gary those first moments with Gavin in his arms and enjoying his new son joining our family there in China.
