"You Passed Court!!!"
We are in awe at God's graciousness in giving us this precious little boy. Thank you all for your prayers. We owe all of this miracle to the Lord and are so grateful for the petitioning done on our behalf.
We do not have specific travel dates yet. We should hear sometime this week but we are anticipating the beginning of February.
Without further ado, I give you, OUR SON,
Elias Besufikad Gossett
We couldn't release his full name before but when I asked about sharing pictures and info I was reassured that he is 100% ours. Besufikad means the will of God and it will always be a special name to us because it was given to our son by a very special lady.
