Happy Birthday to a wonderful dad to many! Hard to believe that 4 years ago you were the father of 4 and we thought our family was complete! I will never forget the night we went out and I talked to you about adopting. Almost a year later to the date you were holding Mia in your arms for the first time!
Suddenly you were the father to 5!
And the father daughter dances began. The first and second of many to come! The girls look forward to it like it is prom!
We both knew after walking out of the orphanage we had to do more. A year and a half later you were holding Max in your arms for the first time!
Then you were the father to 6!
Another father daughter dance and the last where you will only take two girls. Can you believe next year you will have 5 daughters home and old enough to go with you?!
Then you saw Molly's face. I sent her your picture and story telling you I thought a friend should adopt her. I don't remember how many times you called that day to talk about her. Her story and that beautiful face grabbed at your heart the moment you saw her.
But God wasn't done and knew there was one more girl that needed a daddy and again you said yes!
In a few months we will be on our way to bring these two girls home! You are a great dad and all of our children are very blessed to call you their dad. Thanks for taking that leap of faith with me to be a father to the fatherless!
So sweet! You all are very blessed to have these amazing children in your lives and they are also going to continue being amazing children because of awesome parents like you!
