We Have Been Matched!

Ron and Julie have been matched with a child. Here is the big surprise...it's a BOY!

His name is Yang Fu Guang and he is ten months old. He lives in the Yunyang Chengxiang orphanage in the Yunyang province of Chingqong, Sichuan, China. This is the best photograph we have of him at this time.

We are so thrilled!

We had been discussing going back to China in a couple of years and adopting a son from the special needs list. God had other plans. We saw Guang and felt like God was telling us that he is the one for us. So we will have our son first. We are very happy! Ron is already planning baseball practice.

We will save all the pink stuff for a little girl in the future and start making plans for our little guy. I don't mind at all getting to decorate another baby room.

We are thinking he looks like a "Nathan" but are not totally decided on his name yet.

Please pray with us that our travel approval will come quickly and we will be able to get our baby boy soon. We are very grateful to finally have a timeline to plan for. All the waiting will be worth it when we get our baby home.
