We had a Merry Little Christmas!

Here he is...our precious son!

Jae Min Jordan
He was born July 5, 2008 in Seoul, S. Korea. We got the call on Monday, December 22 at 4:18pm! We are beside ourselves with thanksgiving, love and pure joy!

I'll upload more stories and Christmas pics later!

Proud Parents J and C and excited Big Sis Miss C!

P.S. We hope to travel by late March/early April to Korea to bring Jae Min home forever!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We love you and we hope you have a great one!

All our LOVE,
C and Miss C

Thankful for Family, Santa Fe and snow!

Well, we returned from a great Thanksgiving in Santa Fe this year. J, Miss C and I had never spent Thanksgiving there and we had a wonderful time! We laughed a lot, we ate A LOT, and just truly enjoyed being together and with my folks! I am so so thankful for my wonderful parents and their hospitality and generosity. I am so thankful for my hubby and my precious little girl. I give all of my thanks and praise to my Heavenly Father. Hopefully next year we'll have another little one to be thankful for! I am also soooo thankful that with J's help we were able to get almost all of our Christmas shopping finished and somehow on the plane with us! woo hoo! I hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving as well!

Hugs,
C

A Thankful Tribute!

Today I am so Thankful for my wonderful husband. He is the best man I know. God created him perfectly and wonderfully for me and our marriage. He is so patient and understanding and thoughtful. He is an amazing father. He is an example to me every day in soooo many ways. I thank God that he blessed me with J.

Today we celebrate 10 YEARS of marriage. We've had our ups and downs and all arounds....but it's a fabulous marriage to be in and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

This Thanksgiving I am so thankful for you...the best guy a girl could ask for.

Lots of Love,
me~

We're NEXT!!!!!

So, I just logged on to the forum to find out that the family in front of us got their referral last week! SOOOOOOO, long story short, we're next on the unofficial waiting list!!!! Still could be days, weeks, or months....but boy are we hopeful!

Pray that we will know without a doubt when we get "the call" that this is the child that God has planned for our family.

Pray that we are able to get appointments with our pediatrician and an International Adoption specialist swiftly so that we can make the informed decisions we'll need to for our family.

Psalm 33:18
18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love.

Psalm 33:22
22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.

Psalm 38:15
15 I wait for you, O LORD;
you will answer, O Lord my God
