I met with Ben and Hannah near Chicago for lunch the summer of 2016. My daughter and I were going to a family reunion, and we met with as many families as we could on our travels east. We had a lovely lunch together. I never forget meeting families at the early stages of hope and anxiety, about outcome. I have been "there", and it is a mix of awesome and fear of the unknown at the same time. I was very impressed with Hannah and Ben. They were optimistic, hopeful, and best of all, prayerful. It changes everything. With prayer, even if our hopes are not met, we can still keep going on, knowing that there is still the best plan ahead. That is just how God works. We are thrilled by the birth of Rosie and for all the joy she will bring to Ben and Hannah for the rest of their lives. - Maria Lancaster
