What a blessing it has been to spend time with the Gouges! We knew that we were going to have fun with Steve, Tammy, Alyssa, and Stephanie but we didn't realize the impact they would have on our new family. As we have interacted with our dear friends that we've known for over 15 years, our children have seen a side of us they hadn't known. For those of you who have spent time in a foreign country, you will know what I mean. Speaking a different language affects how you interact with others...and Mike and I have been much more reserved here than we normally are! Our children have also been able to watch the Gouges interact and see the dynamics of a healthy family. I praise God for this precious time together and the powerful impact that adoption has had on our families and our friendship. Please pray for all of us as we continue to adjust.
