It's a Boy!!

After much paperwork we have finally received a referral....

Our son was born on 07/05/07….we received the call with an official referral on 07/07/07. His birth name is Cristian Alexander. We had our hearts set on the name "Mason" for a boy. We now need to decide on his middle name.

We received word of his safe arrival to the orphanage on 07/09/07. There are still so many unknown details…and a journey ahead of us. There is still some risk involved, as there would be with any adoption. I am going to try and post the link to a "timeline" to give you an idea of the hoops and hurdles that are still ahead.

We ask that you pray for our son’s safety and that his basic needs are being met. Please pray that we have a speedy processing time without roadblocks! We also ask for prayers for his birthmother….this surely was a heart-wrenching experience for her.

Thank you for listening to me babble endlessly about this….you can look forward to many more stories and probably a lot of tears. Our hearts are already breaking because we want to see and hold him desperately!

We just have to put this entire process into God’s hands and know this process will occur in His timing…which is always perfect!

His measurements are as follows:
Weight: 5 lbs
Height:19 inches long
Head Circumference: 12 inches
Foot: 3.3 inches
