Test Results!

We now can officially say Jaden is Hebatitis B free!!!! He was tested in China, but we had him retested in the US and they came back negative! Praise the Lord, oh my soul, all that is within me praise His Holy Name!

A little background...last August during our homestudy our SW asked us if we would consider Special Needs. Without even thinking we both said, "no." But the Lord worked on our hearts, and for some reason by December, special needs no longer seemed like a big deal, and was the perfectly normal route to go (definately a God-thing).

In April, we got Jaden's referral. He was categorized under Special Needs as Hepatitis B positive. But the funny thing was, his bloodwork in China came back negative for it! Our family coordinator thought (as did our dr) that he was perfectly healthy according to the records we were given.

We decided, either way, he was God's chosen child for our family, either way, we would love him to pieces!

Now it's official, he is Hep free. I'm in awe of the Lord. We followed God's leading and he led us to Jaden. We followed God in His direction of Special Needs and He sent us a healthy child. God is good!

I am sure that you are relieved! I always love to read how God's plan is revealed. We also feel called to special needs and I truly feel like that is where she will come from!
Have a great weekend~
