We first saw a picture of our daughter when Daniel was driving to the Mississippi Delta this past summer on a mission trip with the church. I remember him saying, "So that could be our daughter." After having a doctor graciously review her file we decided to submit paperwork to China for pre-approval. As we began to get more information about her medical condition we grew more concerned. We prayed that God would reveal His will to us - then the orphanage in China emailed us a picture of her standing - we were amazed.
Every child needs a family - moms, dads, brothers, sisters, grandparents, and a home. How were we to know this little girl was ours? God clearly said, "Daniel and Sherri, you wanted a little girl younger than Benjamin. Here's a precious girl 5 days younger than him." She is so close in age, we've begun to consider her Benjamin's twin.
At 10 weeks in utero with Benjamin we discovered he had a twin we had lost. This was a difficult time for me, I always wanted twins. But God used a vanishing twin to help us realize He wanted us to adopt our 4th child. God has given us Esther as Benjamin's twin. This is not the way we imagined His plan, but how incredible that God works beyond our imagination.
