Journey to Adopt Joshua Gabriel

This is the story of how our son, Joshua Gabriel came into our lives.  His adoption was completed on June 12th 2007 and he arrived home to the USA on July 1st, 2007.  He was diagnosed with dwarfism, but as of yet we don’t know what type it is, as there exists over 200 varying types of dwarfism.  He is two years old and he is perfectly beautiful, perfectly amazing, a perfect delight, a perfect blessing and perfectly ours.  A perfect fit to our family.
