God’s Beauty Out Of The Ashes
This is how Lucy & Gilbert Escobar describe their reason to celebrate this month. On Friday, October 23rd, they were able to officially adopt their son, Nathaniel (Nate)!
In October of 2018, Lucy and Gilbert received the tragic news of Gilbert's 33 year old sister passing away. She was Nate’s mother and raised him as a single parent. By the hand of God, Nate was brought into Lucy and Gilbert's home to be raised. From there, their bonds grew unbreakable. Currently, Nate is 11 years old and a thriving 6th grader at Laura Bush Middle School. The Lord has filled Nate's heart with joy after experiencing the deep loss of a mother. Lucy and Gilbert have been married for 19 years and now have a son. When the Judge granted the adoption he stated, "I've been around the block a few times and I can tell this is very special. It's from God."
