When Keith and I look back on the early days of when Kapena came into our lives...and all that went on as he remained in the foster care system...and all that he endured emotionally...and all that we endured emotionally...there were many dark days filled with confusion.
We look back at how we struggled to trust the Lord with the reality of our situation...and the outcome that we couldn’t control...
And we see now how the Lord carried us all through it...and how we survived...and how much we’ve all grown...and we see how faithful the Lord is.
It took four long and difficult years to finalize his adoption.
We look at this precious little boy today, and we are amazed.

His name means Righteous Captain
We are humbled and grateful that the Lord placed him in our home, and in our hearts. Our hearts burst with hope and joy knowing that the Lord has a future and a hope for this quirky, talented, precious little boy.

| Happy 6th Birthday Kapena! |
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you.
Jeremiah 29:11-12
