This was one of the first pictures we ever saw of Quan.  He was 7 then. I was talking to Shara about all the signs there were back then. It was cool remembering all those things and I thought I would take a moment to post them. First, of course, was that he shared the same birthday with my dad. That stood out right away.  My dad was happy about that. Then there was the picture he drew of a mostly blue house, similar to ours, surrounded  by water. I printed that picture and kept it to look at often. (All the time praying his family would come forward and find him). Then when I noticed he was wearing a number "24", it actually stopped me, almost like it took my breath away for the moment. I have always had some kind of connection with the number 24. Favorite number, I guess, but even more than that. There have been so many signs. All this time watching and praying for him. Watching him grow up in an orphanage. We all started wanting him here more and more. One day while praying for his family to find him Hannah said "Mommy, but why can't we be his family?"  Why can't we. He needs a family. We want to be his family. Why not have that child like faith. Why not believe you can step out in faith and do something that means so much to you, even if it's difficult. Why not.
