Big News!

Baby's Foot

On August 1, 2011 (give or take a few days) a baby will be born into this world.  He/She will take that first breath and begin crying for comfort.  We are happy to say that a young mother has chosen us to be the parents of her baby

We can't provide too much information at this point, but that this young expectant mother lives in South Dakota.  She and the baby are doing well.  The baby is growing at a good rate and appears to be very active on the ultrasound.  So active that the technician was unable to determine its gender.

We had the opportunity to meet the mother last night over supper at a Chinese restaurant.  She is a sweet girl and we really enjoyed spending time with her.  We were able to tell her that we have been praying for her.  She wrote us a very nice letter and provided us the above picture from her ultrasound.

It's amazing how quickly all of this has happened.  We began the process at the end of December and here we are six months later counting down the days until the baby's arrival.  All we can say is praise God and thank you for your prayers and support!  We feel so blessed!!!
