By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us
reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged
for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

New Update, No New Pics :-(

We just got this e-mail this morning: We need to send paperwork to Taiwan ASAP so they can get started on it. Jake went to the dr. yesterday for a check-up. He weighs 6 lbs. 4 ounces!!!! and he got his first Hep B shot. But he did great and the doctor told him to keep up the good work! His caregiver, Mary, said that he sleeps in three hour shifts, has his bottle and goes right back to bed. When awake, he is very alert and doing great! GOD IS WONDERFUL!!!!! We are so in love with this little miracle boy.

The girls go shopping!

Today Natalie and I went shopping for her baby brother. It was so much fun....well, at least for me. Natalie was not too thrilled about looking at all that blue! But once she got her light-up fairy wand, she was happy. Natalie declared that Toy-r-Us is her FAVORITE toy store. Oh no.....I thought she was spoiled before.

We found some great deals at a children's consignment store. I bought Jake a bouncer that has a built-in massager, along with vibration and music. I hope he likes it. We picked out a lot of really cute jammies and onesies. I got preemie size to send to him now and newborn/ 0-3month for when he comes home. Oh my word, they are all SO tiny!

New pictures from my friend, Gina. Her daughter Mylee is a HisHands baby, too. Gina got these pictures, that were taken Friday, and when she saw Jake in them, she was kind enough to send them on to us.




LOOK WHO HAS HIS EYES OPEN!

I am so in Love! I was told that he is doing great! Jake is in excellent care and being hugged and cuddled for us. I am over the moon.
