Our Journey to Daniel {the video}
It only took us six months to make this video…but it is finally done 
The last 2 years have been an amazing experience for our entire family. We have seen God’s hand move in ways we never thought possible. I pray that we will have the opportunity to adopt again someday.
If you have a few extra minutes….we’d be honored if you would take the time to journey with us through our adoption process. We love Daniel with our whole hearts and feel like he has changed us. I hope he has changed you too!
Much love, The Coopers
What beautiful memories for a beautiful little boy!!!! Just gives me chills watching it…..Love the music especially “The Promise” That song has always made me think of adoption…I’ve loved it since I was in college….I guess God knew back then:) Daniel is so lucky to have all of you….and what a gift he is to all of us!! Thanks so much for sharing your journey and inspiring others!!!
beautiful!
so glad we can hold him in our arms and not just in our hearts!
Okay…that made me cry…that video says it all and it’s wrapped up in the word “Love”…We love because He first loved us. Thank you for sharing Daniel with us through this blog…
made me miss Ethiopia. I am so glad that I got the pleasure of holding Daniel and making him smile while we were there.
congratulations to all of you.

So beautiful! I always love to see the joy in the special mothers’ faces as they care for and love on the children at HH. It’s been about 6 months for us too…better get going on our video!
Thanks for sharing!
This journey is amazing, loved watching it through your blog. Your faith and strength inspire me to be a better person. Your family is beautiful!
Beautiful! Made me tear up, but that’s okay : ) It’s a bittersweet story with a very happy ending.
Amazing Jen. What big hearts you all have!
so sweet…what a journey. ready to go through it again? we sure are!!!!
absolutely beautiful!! following your journey to sweet daniel has been so much fun and has inspired me in so many ways! Although we have never met, your precious family holds a special place in my heart…
lovely, in every way! made my night watching this.
I took a photo of my Brookelynn with her nebulizer when she was 6th months old too. My husband asked why I wanted a photo to remember her sickness. I explained that when she is older we will look back on it as another milestone the we overcame. And here we are, nine years later…and that is exactly our thoughts everytime we see that picture. Embrace EVERY moment.
So precious! Hugs all around!!! xoxo Kris
Such an inspiring story you have to tell. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Oh, Jen! This made me cry tears of joy for you. You’re face is so precious in the photos of when you first got to hold him….I love his sisters touching his fuzzy head at the airport…and those AMAZING women who care for all those babies waiting for forever homes-no words can express how much they must give to all these little people. So joyful for you! Have loved hearing about your world through the blog, Mindy
Beautiful Jenn! I started working on a video a few weeks ago and quickly got frustrated – I’m not great with technology- you’ve inspired me to get back to it! I will always treasure the 2 pictures that you took of Addison for me, she was sleeping peacefully in her little bouncy, they gave me great comfort during the long wait!
Blessings to your family!
oh jenn, i love every last bit of this. and it’s funny how much i find myself missing ethiopia as i watch your video. so glad daniel is home.
[...] can’t stand not sharing this video as it was made by one of my dearest adoption momma friends Jenn Cooper. To say we have just a little bit in common–is an understatement. She is a kindred spirit [...]
Stols, that was beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Daniel is a lucky little man, blessed with an amazing forever family.
this made my heart melt. We have friends waiting on their little girls and this just made me smile and cry for them. Beautifully done. God is so good
So inspiring!!! Love the video, truly shows how God works in our lives!
