We have never met (at least, I don't think so) but must have a mutual friend that sent me your blog early on when Britton was in the hospital. My wife and I prayed and prayed for him in those early, tough days and I was a daily reader of the blog. Now it's been 8 months since I last checked and praise God at how well he is doing! I have a 22 month old little boy so Britton's story was particularly intriguing to me. I am so encouraged by his healing and by your family.
Graham, Thank you so much for posting!!! Can't tell you how much it means to us to hear of people who prayed for Britton during those dark early days. We so appreciate you posting to let us know!
When our son was very sick in the NICU, a friend monogrammed his initials on a blanket for us. As she stitched the letters B - G - D, she thought of the phrase "By God's Design" ... as surely our son's condition did not take Him by surprise. Even as our son came home and has continued to thrive, and as our family has recently grown by adoption, we rest in knowing that all of this has been By God's Design.
Britton
Britton is our little miracle boy! He came into this world on his way out of it. Born without a heartbeat, he joined the land of the living when he was nine minutes old. He has made an amazing recovery since, and is truly our beautiful, little miracle boy … our gift from God! He spends his days learning to be a sweet big brother and just generally being ALL BOY. To catch the beginning of his story, click on his picture.
Lia Katherine
Lia Kate is our precious chosen child! She was adopted from China over Christmas '09 and we are loving life with her. She is our girly girl with a particular affection for all things shoes, dresses and baby dolls. She is full of joy and laughter and our lives are richly blessed with her in it. Click her picture to read her adoption story from the beginning.
Caroline Collins
Collins is our sweet 7-month-old in China! We can't wait to bring her home. Maybe another Christmas in China?

I didn't realize our babies are the same age! What a sweet fellow! Love the video below, I'll have to try that with Laurie.
Love that boy!
