Enjoy starting your "new" life together as a family. We're thankful we could be a small part of your journey!
In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will– to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. [Eph 1:5-6]

So glad you're home with your family at last! I know this has to be a huge adjustment, although a happy one. You really deserved to have an easy homecoming, after all you've been through to get there.

Cody,

This post is a long time coming. It brought tears to my eyes as I think about just how sweet it must be for you and your wife and daughter to be home together. I wish you all the best and welcome to the support side. It is wonderful to receive the support but I have gotten the most blessing from helping others in difficult times.

Ami
