A few weeks ago i received a call from Cheryl Merritt, some of you may know her. She is a wonderful woman who has served many years in Haiti and was one of the many people who God used to save emily. In fact between her, sarah (her daughter) and me we gave emily her name. emily has been out at bercy, cabaret since november of last year.
anyway...as you know emily was my house warming gift to Dorothy when i came into port to work with fhl infant rescue. i lived with her, loved on her and bonded with her while i was there for 10 months. she is a beautiful lil girl who was a miracle from God. so weak and now so healthy.
to make a long story short...or more like a long story longer (as casey would say)
Shelly Stammis is a woman i met while in Haiti last year. this summer she stayed at Bercy and fell in love with emily marie. she has decided to adopt her! it is an answered prayer because i have been praying for some that i know to adopt her so that i can stay connected with her and be in her life. when i first heard i was like...wait i wanna adopt her...then a second later i thought...wait this is an answered prayer...PRAISE GOD!
Shelly was in Jacksonville with the Merritts so i went down and visited for a day...saw many pictures of emily and was able to be with what i jokingly like to call...my 'baby's mama'...i am so excited for Shelly and for emily...she will be so blessed. Shelly is a good mom, a strong woman and a deep lover of Jesus...I am blessed to know her and so excited for emily. and honored that shelly will still put up with me callin emily my baby too. how cool that she gets to have multiple mamas!!!
so there is the Shout out to Jesus and my answered prayer...and shelly and sharing emily and being so extremely blessed...
