It generally happens when you least expect it. Yesterday  Steven and I had a connecting flight in D.C. as we were traveling to New York. We soon found that the man and boy sitting next to us were on the last leg of their trip home. The man’s name was Justin Barnett. What makes this such a remarkable gift of God’s grace is that Justin was coming home with his newly adopted son…an adoption made possible with the help of a Show Hope adoption aid grant.
Justin quickly recognized us and quickly became speechless. He shared how Show Hope had played such a major role in helping their family to come to this glorious day. Our conversations moved in and out of all the ways God’s grace had marked this journey and preserved the life of their son. It was a beautiful reminder of the miracles that happen every day through the work of Show Hope and the sponsors who make it possible.
At the flights end, Steven and I disembarked from the plane and waited at the gate to watch Justin and his new son finally be united to the rest of his family….forever. It was beautiful to watch the mother tremble as she waited to hold her new son. When they finally exited the plane, time seemed to stand still.
Congratulations to the Barnett family, and our deepest thanks to the Show Hope sponsors and donors who make miracles like this possible!


I do remember those feelings on our way home with RO and can not wait until we can do it again.
