Today we recieved an incredible gift from God. We started this adoption process just 8 months ago and now our son is here. It is incredible and hard to beleive, it is the coolest thing to bring this child in as our own, he is our son. This has been a journey that began for us many years ago in Korea when God first put adoption on our hearts. This adoption is a small picture of how we are adopted by God through his son Jesus, this child that we received today is such an awsome gift from God. He is not ours but Gods just as our other 3 girls are gifts from God and and belong to God. Our prayer for him and our girls is that they all come to know God and have a personal relationship with him.

He is a laid back little guy, with a quiet disposition, so far..... It is amazing that although we did not know him until today it seems that he is just a perfect fit into our family, We know that the birthparents can revoke their decision until Midnight June 2nd. But today when we spent the afternoon with the birth parents, they had an overwhelming peace and this decision was made for them at the beginning of their pregnancy. They were kind, gentle people and as we said goodbye to them it just felt rite. For all of us.
