18 years ago today, a couple, Tatiana and Namik, had a baby.  From all I know, this was their first child.  No doubt they were happily anticipating the birth of their new son, but when he finally arrived, they realized that they had no chance of raising him in their country, because he was born just a little bit different from the rest.  Prejudices run high in their country and this child would never be accepted as he was, so they made the excrutiating decision to have him placed for adoption. 

This adorable little bundle (don't you just want to scoop him up and kiss his cheeks?) waited for 5 years in an orphanage in the middle of nowhere (quite literally!) until God grabbed a woman in the United States by the collar and took her to his country and she adopted him.  What a BLESSING this little boy turned out to be!!  God certainly knew what He was doing!
