We were met at the gate with an expanded choir and dance this time - and it was amazing. We were able to experience Zuri coming back to faces that helped to raise her from two weeks to ten months. One of the teenage girls said to her friend: “she is the first one to come back.” We were able to meet Charlie Zeke and pass him around the family. He did not cry – that was a good first start. The whole family was then ushered into the middle of the kids and asked to join along – Zuri was almost overwhelmed by the loud music and the festivities, but she hung in there really well and seemed to enjoy it by the end.
We are staying in Adam and Besty Greer’s place here on campus and they live right next door to Zeke’s foster mom, Claudia. This works out very well because we are very fond of Claudia and Leia is good friends with her daughters. Also, Zuri can go next door and play with all of the little kids who live in Claudia’s home and we can bring Zeke over periodically and are beginning the bonding process. We still do not have a court date, so we are unsure if we will be able to bring him home with us in August, but we are praying that the LORD would make a way for this to happen.
