A Family for Niu Niu

A few days ago I was blessed to open my inbox and find these precious photos of my girl from her future family. She has been told by the staff at PHF that her family is coming for her soon, and has been "very excited," toting pictures of her mommy and daddy everywhere. The joy I see on her face just makes my heart jump up and down in celebration for her. It is inconceivably incredible to me that, six months ago, I was holding this little girl in my arms and crying over the fact that she had no family (and, subsequently, forming an adoption campaign club trying to persuade my own parents to bring her home!). God knows exactly what He is doing though, and His timing and plans for her were so much greater than I could have ever imagined back in July. She will have her very own family by this Christmas...how miraculous is that?

This photo just sent happy tears rolling down my cheeks. To see my little girl excitedly pointing out her mommy and daddy to her ayi is the sweetest ending I could have ever wanted for my sponsorship and prayers for this little one.

From all the adorable and precious photos I have received of my Niu Niu girl over the years, this one has the sweetest, happiest face I've ever seen. God has been so very good to my sweet little friend!! I am standing back in such awe of His amazing mercy and grace to her!

Wow, Annie, I love these pictures! They are so precious!! What a joyful time this is for her and for you. Her face is priceless in that last photo! She is just beaming! :) I love the one of her pointing at her new parents, too. How adorable, it seems like she understands that they are her family.

Annie, we are friends of the adoptive parents. We are excited about walking with them through this process and the years to come.
