Isaiah

This is a story I wrote while Shauna and Justin were getting baby Isaiah.
Somewhere hidden East of America, in the continent of Africa, in the country of Uganda, in the orphanage of Sanyu lives a little boy named Isaiah.
Frightened, happy, and anxiously waiting in America is a 32 year old man ready to board the plane to go to Uganda to maybe meet a boy he can call son. The second the man walks into the orphanage God works his wonders. The woman at the front desk asked if he was there to adopt. He replied "Yes I am, is there any little boys here by the name Isaiah?" The woman replied "That's so weird when you walked in the door I said to myself I bet he's here for Isaiah and yes there's only one he's over there." The man and Isaiah bonded for a few weeks and he knew that was the boy he was going to adopt. But he had to return his wife and kids waiting to see him. The mans name is Justin.
Months drug on and on it felt like a decade for the woman ready to go to Uganda to pick up her new baby. When she and Justin finally arrived it was so sad at the sight that lay in front of her she cried for days. Spending a few weeks with her soon to be son and after one court date the judge said it was approved. She finally got to call Isaiah her own. Her name is Shauna.
Only a few things need to be done and the small family get to come home to the four kids anxiously waiting to see their parents and meet their new brother. Almost daily the kids wait by the phone wanting to know all the news. When they heard Isaiah is legally their brother they were jumping with joy. The family has turned from six people to seven! The four kids are Ashton, Hunter, Dawson, Lily and the newest addition Isaiah.
Its amazing what the Lord can do for you if you only believe in Him.
Love,
