Meet Our Son!!!!

We woke up to a WONDERFUL Christmas surprise this morning.  We received PA - (Pre-Approval) by the CCAA for us to adopt our little boy!! So we did not want to delay any longer! We wanted to introduce you to our son, Shepard. :) We think he is just PRECIOUS and cannot wait to meet him in person!!




We have chosen to give him the American name, Shepard. The name Shepard means - "A Gentle Leader".  The Lord has been such a Gentle Leader to us during this whole process of leading us to adoption again and through this adoption. We also believe it is a very good declaration over our son for his future!!

We will keep his Chinese name as his middle name.  We can't post it here on a public blog.  But we feel since he is 5 years old it will be important to keep his Chinese name as well as for him to have an American one! :) We're not sure if we will give him another middle name to go with his Chinese one or not...but for now...he is our little Shepard boy!! :) Next...we will be working on a care package to send to him!! We can't wait to send him some special things from us!!

What a wonderful Christmas present to receive today!! We could not WAIT to share with you all!! Thank you for your prayers and support in helping us give this precious little boy a forever family.  What a blessing...for all of us!!! Praying you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!!

    Just found your blog and wanted to say Congratulations!!! That is so awesome. My family is adopting a SN China child too, but we are just now finishing up the homestudy and working on the dossier. Soooo exciting to see things going quickly on the China side! :) Congrats again!!! Shepard is soooo cute!
