A month ago, on Saturday, January 14, at the police station in
Walterboro, South Carolina, Craig Aiken
laid eyes on his daughter, Kamiyah, for the first time. Eighteen years earlier,
in Jacksonville, FL, just hours after birth, a lady dressed in nurses’ scrubs,
walked out of the doors of the hospital carrying Kamiyah, never to be seen by
her parents again…until that meeting at the police station. After spending
nearly an hour with his daughter, Aiken, 41, said of seeing her for the very
first time: 'It was the best day of my life. It was a beautiful, beautiful day.
We are so happy. I hope the world is rejoicing with us.' link
This is exactly like the people we work with every
day. They have lived their whole lives
not knowing who their real father is. They
have been lied to. Abducted. We have the privilege of introducing our
neighbors to their compassionate, merciful, loving Father, for the first time. And when they understand and come to Him, it’s
beautiful. Words truly can’t explain it.
We are adopted orphans telling fatherless friends about their loving Father.
