Ever since we saw our little Lou Wei's face we've struggled with giving her the perfect name. She's so special, chosen by God to be part of our family and us chosen for her. Not being able to decide on a name that separates her really bothered me. We kept going over zoodles of different names. We prayed, went through meanings of names, consulted friends and family until we were completely confused, just looking for the perfect name that jumped out at us when we saw her face. We kept coming back to square one...nada! Well.....That brings me to when we began the adoption process about 4 years ago. We both wanted a little girl from China when we started out but it wasn't the right time then and we were lead to Vietnam. As we got deep into the adoption process somewhere along the line we fell in love with the name Hadley...We knew that would be our little girls name! Well coming back to the present...When we got the call about Lou Wei, everyone asked if she was Hadley? I kept thinking...No, she was not Hadley. Hadley was a sweet little girl we would never know that was in Vietnam. I eventually realized I was wrong because every time we'd look at her picture and say a new name we liked, it didn't fit and we both felt like Hadley did. We kept it on the list and finally both of us in talking realized she really was Hadley. Hadley was the beginning of our adoption journey. She is the little girl we had prayed for and she was still Hadley but in GODS TIMING, not OURS.
Proverbs 16:9- In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.
