When we first started our adoption process, we knew we had room in our house and in our hearts for more than one child. So, we planned to adopt "Wilson" and another little boy from the same region. But a very short time into the journey, God made it very clear that we were only to get one. I struggled with that. I said, "But God we are willing to get two." And His reply every single time was, "I'm only asking you to save one."
I didn't understand then and honestly, I don't understand now. But clearly, God has a plan for the one we left behind. I KNOW he was in the same orphanage with Zeb. We didn't ever see him, even though I kept my eyes peeled for him. I just wanted one glimpse. And yet, God probably knew I wouldn't handle it very well.
So, I just wanted to take today to re-introduce you to "Langley".
He will be 4 this month. Unfortunately, that means his time in the baby house is drawing to a close. Please pray for Langley with me. Pray that his family finds him soon. I don't want the day to come when his profile reads, "Help! I've already been transferred!"
Zeb is such a HUGE blessing to our family. "Langley" will be a HUGE blessing to his family too.

Praying for Langley, what a sweet little boy!
Praying for that sweet child. And who knows, he might very well be yours. Maybe God was just giving you what you could handle at this moment.
Military Wife,
I would go back for Langley in a heart beat, but we now exceed the allowable family size for his region.
God definitely has another family in mind for that sweet boy. I won't stop praying until they find him.
Thanks for posting about him. I'm his prayer warrior and we tried to go get him but were denied. I did not understand at the time but now I know we are where we are suppose to be, heading to china for our little guy. This still doesn't make it easier to know he is still waiting.
oh jamie...this little guy tugged at my heart 9 months ago and still does. tears. the hardest part of our adoption has been those little ones i hugged and loved on, and then had to leave behind. praising God for the child He led us to and praying langley will soon have his family too.
