Meet Our Treasure:)

Meet our little guy! Christian is 14 months old and we just cannot wait to bring him home! Is he not pure preciousness?!

We have signed paperwork to officially "accept" the referral and now begin the long hard wait to bring him home. Please join us in praying for our precious baby boy! He is in a wonderful place as far as orphanages go. His nannies really love him and have asked that when we do bring him home we send bi-yearly photos to keep them updated. We are so thankful for the care they are giving him and yet we know there is nothing like a family. All children deserve a family.

He is so beautiful. Our hearts ache for him already. We are praying God really prepares his tiny heart for the transition, prepare ours with wisdom for how to make it as smooth as possible for him, and for every person caring for him in the mean time. Please pray for the process and for patience and peace in the waiting!

Those cheeks, those eyes, every little thing about him is absolutely perfect (and those cheeks are going to prove quite the temptation for many kisses!). Rejoicing with you and praying too!!!
