WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING ...

we became parents to our fourth child. He is no longer an orphan ... he has a forever family ...

We would like to introduce you to
KENENISA DAVID ELDER



He is almost 4 years old (and looks like he will be an active little guy.)  Many people want to ask what his story is ... how he became an orphan.  I have been equally curious regarding my friends and the children that they are adopting, and so I do understand.   However, at this point, we are choosing to keep the details of his birth family fairly private.  Just know that despite the beautiful smile on his face, he has experienced loss greater than most of us ... and our primary job once we have him home will be to love him and be a channel of healing for him.  So your continued prayers are much appreciated.

We do not have travel dates yet, but will keep you all posted.  It should be anywhere from 5-12 weeks from now.  All of the sudden , my to do list just got a lot longer!

  7. Congratulations! We don't know our court outcome yet... no communication between our agency and the ET staff today for some reason. It's killing me to find out if we passed while we were sleeping, too!
