The "other" Andrew!

Here Levi and I are on October 10, 2008 with the "other" Andrew. He came into our home on December 28, 2007. The day this picture was taken was the day he went to live with his Aunt Teresa and Uncle Brian. It is hard to believe it has been a year since we took him it. The 10 months that we had him had their ups and downs. It was a lot of work, as he needed help. It just seemed each time we would get somewhere they would tell us that was not what we needed or we were not where we needed to be.

Through this difficult time I was able to see that God is faithful. Intially said we would not have him over the summer and then it was that we would not have him when the baby was born. Obviously, God had other plans and I could not convince myself to let him go no matter how hard things got, as my heart broke for him over and over (it still does).

He went into respite care when I had the baby and the day he was suppose to return to our care was the day that the aunt and uncle were given the okay to take him into their home. Needless to say, God is always on time and never early. It was a huge answer to prayer.

We feel that Andrew is in the best place for him. We are very thankful for the work his aunt and uncle put in to getting him placed in their home. We are thankful they did not give up and wish them the best. If you think of Andrew could you pray for him and his aunt and uncle as they transition to becoming a family and attempt to get the help that they need. He truely is a sweet boy and we wish nothing but the best for him and his family.
