October update
We've got fantastic news to share, so we're glad you stopped by to check on us!
God has provided for all of the remainder of our adoption expenses!!!!
We have been blessed to receive many generous gifts from friends and most recently we have been awarded a substantial Adoption Grant from the JSC Foundation! http://www.jscfoundation.org/index.cfm
The grant now covers the remaining funding we needed in coordination with the Child Adoption Tax credit that we will file for and the financial contribution from Ben's employer.
We gladly Praise God for this superabundant provision & blessing!
~Eph. 3:20~
Here are a few new pics of Sammy--he's filling out nicely don't you think?

September Samuel Update:
This month Samuel weighed in at his 3rd Dr. appointment at 10 lbs, 4 oz!
He is super strong and always very alert!
He seems very happy!
Wakes once in the night to have a 6 ounce bottle (usually between 2:30-3:30 am)
So far we've had ONE post-placement visit from our Social Worker...1 down, 3 to go! Our goal is to have all 4 visits completed by December so that we can finalize Samuel's adoption in late January.
(our State's law says we have to wait 6 months after placement)
Please pray for Samuel to continue to thrive being with our family, that we will make it to his adoption finalization smoothly, and that we will be able to raise the needed funds to pay off this adoption! We know that God will provide according to His perfect will!
Here are a few pics from September:
Samuel with the baby doll- to show how little he still is. We love this tiny little guy!
