Closure

Jean Delson -2008

As most of you know, in July of 2008 we had to make a very difficult decision and terminate our Haitian adoption journey, thus giving up our referral for Jean Delson. This was one of the hardest decisions we ever had to make and not a day goes by I do not think about Jean Delson and pray that the family he was meant to be with is found soon. Recently Micah has begun wanting to look through all the scrapbooks I have made. There are ones on Pepe', Scott, our wedding, and also the book we kept of Jean Delson and our trip to Haiti. It is really hard for me to page through these books and see the little one we thought would be our son. To look through those pictures and watch him grow up right in front of my eyes, as we have over 2 years worth of pictures in these books, is so hard. Today we received a letter in the mail from A New Arrival(the agency we were using for our Haitian adoption). It was a letter that we had requested a number of times after making the decision to terminate our adoption, simply stating that we had no further obligation with them...sort of closure. We had asked for this letter so many times and never gotten anything, so we kind of forgot about it. Until today...there was the letter, dated September 15, 2008. There was a note stating that they just found the letter in a pile and thought we had never gotten a copy. It actually brought a tear to my eye, here after all this time I knew that the adoption journey for Jean Delson had ended...but today there was actually closure and that was both sad and also much needed. I continue to pray for Jean Delson and know in my heart that God has a plan for him... ~Melissa
