I LOOKED FOR HIM FOR OVER A > YEAR,,FINALLY FOUND HIM AND GOT TO TALK TO HIM LATE IN JUNE What a wonderful story! Reminds me of another that we know of. A young girl had a baby in her teens and gave it up for adoption. She got her life turned around and later became a missionary to South America, married and had two lovely daughters. One of those daughters died of leukemia several years ago. It was right after the death of her daughter that either her first child located her or she located the child (I don't remember which). But this couple, who had just lost one daughter, found another. It was a real time of rejoicing on both sides. We knew of the story because the other surviving daughter married the son of some friends of ours in California, and that couple are now missionaries in Papua New Guinea. God has this wonderful habit of turning our sins and mistakes around and bringing good out of them!
