Our Gift

Aw, the last post was too easy - you guys are good! ;-)

I was going to wait for our Family Sponsorship Profile to be up on Reece's Rainbow to announce it, but I can't wait any longer!

We will be adopting our baby girl! I am proud to introduce you to Darya. She will be 2 on June 9 and has the sweetest chocolate brown eyes. Darya is similar to the Greek word for "gift" - which she is! She is currently living in an orphanage in an Eastern European country where she likely sits in a swing, bouncy seat, or crib most of the day. We're going to work like mad to get her home as quickly as possible so she can be where she belongs - with her family!

I'll post more details later, but for now it is suffice to say that "excited" is an understatement of how we feel. We are humbled and so thankful by how this came about, and the Lord's hand is so apparent. Okay, enough talk, I'll share more later, here she is!:
