Meet our little baby boy!

So, our pastor once said, "If you think God doesn't have a sense of humor, tell him your plan!" Ha!!!! We couldn't have said it better ourselves.... Baby Girl from China in 2010, becomes Baby Boy from Korea in 2007! As of yesterday evening, it is official...... he's ours....and now we wait for the Korea group to call us with more detailed info about what to do next... :) :) :)

For those of you that don't know, Randy & I were given a "referral" just under two weeks ago, of a preemie boy from Korea. He was born on April 22, 2007 and has been cared for by a foster family since birth. He could be home in two to four months! He will be brought to us by a sponsor from our agency, so no traveling on our part....Yes, our minds are racing, yes we are going nuts, and yes WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!!!!! He will still be...."Baby E"....more to come on the name later! Isn't he so adorable?!?!?!?!

We are so excited for you all. I've been following your blog and broken by the endless delays. God does have a sense of humor when he sees us stressing about our plans. We will continue to pray that everything comes together. Congratulations!!!

Oh my Goodnes! God has had a plan all along, hasn't he? There are so few words that can even express the feelings you must be having! Congratulations! Now the true roller coaster ride begins! Enjoy and treasure each moment of it! I'm certainly not an expert, but let me know if you have preemie questions. :)

We are so very happy for you both. He is the world's most beautiful baby. Glam-ma and Pap Pap can't wait to cuddle him and give him kisses all night. We love looking at his picture and as Carolyn said, he does bring a smile to your face. Great-Grandmother James is just as excited as we are. She said we need more boys/men in the family. We thank God everyday for this miracle child. Love you both, Mom

We couldn't be more excited to meet him unless we were you! We are hoping and praying he will be here in time to come to Indiana in January! God has been working on this baby for you for a long long time, he was just waiting for the perfect moment to present him to you! All of our Love, Godfather and Godmother!
