"FINALLY, I GET TO BE A MOTHER.........."

She boarded a KLM  flight, one beautiful monday morning in March 2012, to London. This is not the usual business or leisure trip, it's a trip that is so much deeper and could be described as the most meaningful and fulfilling trip of her entire life. One that she had prayed for, for a very long time..........

*Paula and *Dayo are certainly a match made in heaven, they met in college some 22 years ago and stuck like glue through out college years, before finally taking their relationship to a whole new level as man and wife. The love they share lights up a room and gives broken hearted people hope, that they can still swim in an ocean filled with so much love.

Blessed with mouthwatering jobs, great health, supportive families and friends, above all a faith they both hold so dear. One look at them and you would think they have it all ; no cares, no worries and no pains. Its been about 13 years of  blissful matrimony and the couple have done everything humanly possible, prayed hard and trusted hard, for that which would amplify the volume of joy and love in their home. The pitty patter of a tiny feet, the hearty laughter of innocence and the tiny little hands that stretch out for a lift....yes they have prayed for the gift of a CHILD!!!.

                                                                

Despite pregnancies that ended in dissapointments, fertility treatments that were hurting with no flicker of hope ;they never stopped believing, neither did they give up on their faith. They never felt less loved than those who have this special gift in droves. Their love and faith have been their biggest source of strength, blossoming with every challenge and propelling them to hope against hope. Haven tried all they know how to, they made a decision to give to another, the life they've always dreamt they would give to their biological children.

                                                                      

In patience and faith they went through all the processes, hoping that nothing would go wrong and that fate wouldn't play a fast one on them. Its been almost one long year and its closer than they ever thought. The dream is fast becoming a butterfly-in-the-belly kind of reality and the couple can hardly contain their excitement. He arrives in the first week of April 2012, a 6 month old beautiful, chubby looking bundle of Joy.

Now they would experience the pitty patter of his little feet, his hearty innocent laughter and get to hold his hands every time he stretches it out for a lift. 
Paula is off to London to shop for their adopted son, in preparation for his arrival. In her words she says ....
"I am so excited!!!, i can hardly wait!!!!....God is faithful and Finally , i get to be a mother"

                                                                       
Hope someone finds strength reading this, sometimes the blessings may not come directly to you, but through someone else. Be thankful and never ever give up!!!
