7 years ago today, a premie was born to a mother who could not adequately care for him. This 4 lb 12 oz baby was not known to us, but known to God. God knows ALL things and He knew that Matt and I were aching for a baby. We had an adoption loss a few months before and after battling infertility, we were very weak and heartbroken. Little did we know that 10 days later, we would receive a call that would forever change our lives.
This tiny, premie born 7 weeks early was born to fix our broken hearts. As foster parents, we always had to be cautious because the case plan is always for parent reunification, but in my heart, I just KNEW Cody was in our home to stay.
He did heal the heartache we had faced and has brought incredible love and joy into our family. He is such an amazing, incredible, and sweet little boy. God has such an amazing plan for his life. I can already feel it in my heart. Everyone he meets, he captivates them with his sweet smile and loving hug. In fact, his morning bus driver gave him a birthday card with a gift certificate to McDonalds. He calls Cody his "buddy." He hugs all his teachers and aides and absolute strangers. There will be no other boy that could possibly surpass him in sweetness. We did not give him his first name, but we did give him his middle name "Matthew" means gift from God and that is exactly what he is to us and to those who he meets.
Happy 7th Birthday, sweet Cody!
