Heidi and I would like to thank each of you who took part in praying this baby into our arms. We are blessed at the opportunity to raise this precious child and blessed that we have friends and family who have helped to pray this boy home.
If you know the doxology, please sing it with me now:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts,
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Oh, praise Him! Oh, Praise Him!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

PRAISE THE LORD!!! Michael and Heidi. I have been praying for all of you ever since your Aunt Jana called me about the situation. I even sent it to my 2nd cousin who has a Cyber Space Bible Study which inturn has a Cyber Space Intercessory Pray with all who receive the Bible Studies. Your prayer request has be forward to people all over the world. I let them know that all went well and the adoption papers were sign. Aunt Jana sent pictures of Harrison and he is a very percious looking baby. God Bless your family
What an excellent gift from the Lord ... a precious little child and a two loving parents to hold him and care for him. I am sure that there was many opportunities to loose hope along the way, but we have such a Good Shepherd to always manifest our greatest hopes ... even to the redemption of our souls ... the Greatest Gift of all - the sacrifice of the Only Begotten.
Personally, I am grateful for your efforts and all those that seek adoption, who, by their actions, have given a reason to carry each precious firefly to full term ... and at least one more mother to have an alternative to visiting an abortion mill.
Ripening for the harvest,
Trent
Michael & Heidi & Harrison,
Come Back! Come Back!! We miss you so much already and you've only been gone from Salt Lake for 55 minutes! I am SO grateful that God has showed so much grace to you and that Harrison is finally at home with his God-ordained parents. This was planned from the beginning of time. (I just wish God could have let us in on that little secret a little earlier!) Kiss that precious angel everyday for his "Grayma"(?) and tell him how much I love him. I am SO proud of you two, Michael & Heidi. You continually showed godly character and Christian love during the whole difficult time. Bob and Jeanette and Mike and I are so blessed to have you as our children and Harrison is infinitely blessed to have you two as his loving parents.
I love you all so much!

Yay! Jared and I are thrilled! After the news we were finally able to EAT and to SLEEP without our stomachs doing flips! We love you guys so much and are blessed to have been able to pray and fast with you for our newest Gray. One night when we were praying, Jared said, "Lord, we may not know his name, but you have known it since the foundation of the earth." We are so happy that it is HARRISON and that we know it now! All our love to the Grayby and the new Mommy and Daddy.
Blessed Be the Name of the LORD!
Aunt Erin and Uncle Jared
He looks just like you ;)
I cannot even begin to fathom how you guys are feeling! I know that when I heard the news, my heart burst with joy. How great is our God? Gosh. Wow. We can't wait to meet him- if you need ANYTHING let us know!
Michael and Heidi,
All we can say is "Thank you so much, Jesus, for the love you have given these three to share forever." Along with hundreds of others we have prayed for this day for you both. God is so great. He planned for this beautiful, precious boy to be a part of your family from the beginning of time. We can't wait to see him. He has Michael's hairline. With Love, Mike and Nancy
Congratulations Michael and Heidi!! It has been a long act of faith and perseverance for you guys. I’m so glad God is faithful and has blessed your lives with little Harrison. Moreover, God has blessed Harrison with such wonderful parents! I can hardly wait to hear, in the coming months and years, the great things that come out of this answer to prayer. What a tremendous blessing!!
With love,
Uncle Scott
Michael and Heidi!
Can't tell you enough how happy we are for you guys, and for Little Harrison to be with such awesome parents! God is so awesome in bringing you together!
love you guys!
Daniel & Violet
All I can say is that our God must have some big plans for that little man, to have placed him into yours and Heidi's arms. He is so good. He is SO good. Much love to all three of you,
Karina
