Our journey in faith to adopt this little boy Josiah from China

Josiah, or Yang Heng Hai, was an orphan from China who is a wonderful, patient, sweet, and ingenious little boy who was in need of a family. We felt the Lord calling us to bring this beautiful child into our family, and He provided beautifully. Some people would call Josiah a special needs child. Others, a child with special needs. To us he is just special. Josiah was born without the use of either of his arms and had 2 club feet. However, Josiah has been able to overcome these things and do many amazing things.

GOTCHA DAY!!!

If you can believe it we got Josiah one year ago today in China!! I can't believe how fast it has gone and how much we have done and overcome in the last year. Yesterday Josiah walked into our church for the first time instead of using his wheelchair. It was amazing the impact that made and he was so proud to be able to show everyone that after six years of being on this earth he is finally walking. I did have to hold his shirt to help him with his balance so he is not totally on his own with it yet. But he has only actually been walking for six weeks in the power of his own strength, with no help except to balance him.

Here is a video of Josiah enjoying one of his presents that he received for Gotcha Day. He laughed and yelled and played exactly like he did in this video for almost two hours with this present. I think we picked a good one. By the way in the video he is saying, "I'm fast. I'm fast. I'm really fast!!"
