I stand humbled, completely amazed and overwhelmed with the goodness of God. I get to be Vernon’s mom.
****More to come, sweet friends, cause there’s not one, but two crazy-amazing stories that unfolded today.

My heart is over the moon with this post! Welcome to your forever family Vernon!!! 😀 God you are so good!
So, so, so happy for all of you!!! Love the pictures, keep them coming. 🙂 Continued prayers.
Aaahhhh!! How wonderful to see him with you!
I see it’s 2:30am in China. So I apparently have no choice but to wait for the rest. 🙂
Words cannot express the joy in my heart right now. I am SO happy for Vernon and for you and for the rest of your family! Just looking at those few pictures it is so easy to imagine him as a member of the Saunders family. <3
So wonderful! I didn’t see the previous post, so I didn’t know you were already there. But I made myself read it first!
Can’t wait to hear more!
Big hugs and lots of prayers for the transitions.
God bless,
Sandy in the UK
Yea!
Happy tears for you all!!! He is a treasure for sure!!!!
I am SO excited and happy for you!! I have been a silent follower of your blog before Em left for Africa. I truly love your faith and gentle reminders to see God’s beauty and love in every day and every experience. I cannot wait to hear more about your newest son and your adventure. Love and hugs from Texas!
SO wonderful! He has a great smile!
Tears in my eyes! Looks like he took to you right away. What a gorgeous, amazing young man!
I am overwhelmed with joy for you. Such a handsome young man and look at the smiles! I am so happy and crying tears of joy.
Crying and praising God for this very precious and VERY good gift! Each of your smiles is bursting forth with sheer joy! I love it!! Thank you Jesus for this precious, newly expanded family! Bless their transition and knit them together with your love!! Sweet dreams to you all! Can’t wait to hear and see more! Congratulations Saunders Family! God bless you all!!
What a joy to see you together! We adopted our oldest four and a half years ago from China a week before his 14th birthday. It has been a wild ride sometimes, but a blessing we will be forever grateful we didn’t miss out on.
Pure awesomeness!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!
I get home from work tonight and I am shocked to find you in China and already have Vernon. Please post more of the story when you have time. Also, more photos. Is Pearl’s gotcha day tomorrow?
The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him. Lamentations 3:22-25 The Lord is your portion, Saunders family, and has showered you with lovingkindness! Welcome home, Vernon! Love to all of you.
Soooooooo happy. *dancing
Thank You Father in Jesus’ Name!!!<3<3<3
Congratulations!!! Vernon is certainly a handsome man! He looks so happy and so at ease with you. God sure could not have orchestrated this any better. Hugs to you and prayers as you journey through China .
I seriously feel like he’s always been with me. And boy do I wish he had been. He’s the best. Faithful and ONLY God!!
