We have entered a new chapter of our lives tonight. This evening Sweet Baby Lael was brought to our door and has now entered our home. Her grandmother, who has lovingly cared for her for her first month of life, is returning to her own home tonight to begin caring for Ega (her son) and his three children. Lael and her grandmother have been staying with Sossa and his wife. (Sossa and Ega are in the same extended family) Ega is crippled with polio and lacks the physical capacity to care for a newborn. He has sought assistance and we have offered our home (foster care) for Lael.
We have complete peace that this is how the Lord is directing our path for the moment. Only He knows where this will lead and we are walking in faith step by step. Our hearts are full as we hold her in our arms. She is a precious little girl and we are so blessed with this opportunity. Randy and I care deeply for Ega and we had great love for Lokadi. It is our desire to bless this family and to assist Ega in a time when he is overwhelmed with grief.

Looks like Tori is a natural !! How fun that Mom and Dad get to be the first family to baby Lael. I'm jealous. Love you guys!!!
My mom just told me about Lael and about your blog (which I'll now be checking regularly!). What a blessing! She's absolutely gorgeous.
Kelly - it was wonderful seeing you, Tori & Jonathan at Momo's memorial. I wish I could have spent more time with you, but wanted you to know what a blessing it was to get to see you for those few moments.
Love you,
Lyndsey
