Sweet Baby James

Oh, Sweet Baby James .....

Seven months ago on the other side of the world a precious baby boy was born.... a 6lb 6 oz perfect bundle of joy. He was born to a strong mother who loved him so much she gave him the gift of life.

And here we were on the other side of the world having no idea that he would be our son and that we would be his forever family.

But some how, as if all the stars in the universe alligned at one moment, this little boy was matched with a family. Our Family.

We got the call at 7:56pm Wednesday May 4th, 2011 that this adorable baby boy would be our son. He would be Zoey's baby brother. He would be a grandson to our parents, and a great grandson to my grandfather. He would be a nephew to all his aunts and uncles who have supported us in this journey. He was matched with his forever family.....our family. God is Good!!!!!!



And now we cling to these photographs. We study them because we love him so much already and while we have become part of this big miracle we miss our baby boy who is halfway around the world.

We hope the coming months pass quickly and that the process continues to run smoothly. Please keep baby James in your prayers - so that he can make it home to his forever family quickly. So he has an easy transition. So he has a great big beautiful life.

And please pray for his first mother, his birthmother, so that the pain that she must be feeling will get easier and that she will know that I will do my best to give our son the kind of life she wanted him to have. That his life will be full of love and happiness.

I think this little boy is destined for happiness.

Look at that smile?

I think he knows how much he is loved....

from his birthmother...

to his first foster family....

and his second foster family....

and now by his forever family.

That is a whole lot of love....





James,

We can't wait to hold you in our arms ....

But for now we will continue to carry you in our hearts.

With Love,

MaMa, Daddy, and Big Sister Zoey
