143,000,000 Minus one, Part 2

We were blessed tonight to be invited to the airport homecoming of the Gitlin family

with their new 3-1/2 year old son from Ethiopia.

Initially, he clung to mom as the happy crowd mobbed them.

This allowed dad and his 5-year-old daughter to get reacquainted.

Then it was Dad time for her new brother.

After he started to feel comfortable, all four of the Gitlins began to interact.

Sister and brother began to exchange smiles.

And the rest of us got the privilege of watching a family, created on two continents, begin to form.

Thank you, Gitlins, for allowing us to watch such sacred moments in the formation of your family. We were so blessed! We have prayed for you and will continue to pray for you--all FOUR of you!
