This newborn session is so special. Not only did a brand new miracle (yes, it really is a miracle) enter this world, but the reality of the kingdom of God is so tangible in this family. Why you ask? Well, let me give you the back story first. Sarah & Lance were married for awhile when the reality of children biologically looked less likely. They started their research and a short 9 months later they adopted an adorable Joshua from Kazakhstan. They were finally parents!! A couple of years passed and they knew that they would like more children. Again, they looked at the biological and adoptive routes. Several adoptions looked like they were a go and then at seemingly the last minute they fell through. Then a domestic birth mom chosen them. It is was going to be a girl…a dream of Sarah’s. Scared but joyful they walked in faith that God was guiding them. The birth mom made the adoptive choice pretty late in her pregnancy and she was having pre-term labor. They prayed, waited and weeks after being chosen they became parents again. Only the ultrasound tech had been wrong and it was a little boy!! God knew what this little boy needed and He chose Sarah & Lance. It was no accident.
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.” Revelation 7:9a
From this verse I believe that one day in Heaven there will be no racial divides. Sarah and Lance are not black and they are not Kazakh, but they did reach beyond themselves and have shown love & acceptance to two children. They are a small picture of what heaven will look like.
