Previous Post – Three Messages for Women

I wanted to quickly drop a note here on the blog to catch people up on our family news.  As many of you know, Kim returned to Canada this week with our new son, Micah, a three year old Ethiopian (& now Canadian, as well).  She was joined by her folks from Australia.  The journey home was “hellish”, so they are all still recovering from head colds & jet lag.  However, they are all quite happy to be settling in.

Like any new parent, I could go ON and ON about how much I love my amazing, beautiful, bundle-of-energy son.  However, since I did just that on Facebook recently, I’ll leave with a simple “Thank You”.  Thank you for all your prayers, support, encouragement and kindness to us through this adoption journey.  The next leg of our life journey begins now!

I hope to be back blogging more regularly in the next 10-15 years.  Peace!

    Jamie, I’ve been praying all through your adoption process. Our two girls, 22 and 18 now, are also adopted. Love your heart, and love that Micah’s life has changed. Your life has changed. God’s richest blessings on your journey together.

    This is just so awesome! I’m so happy for you guys. Will still continue to pray (you might need it more now – children are trials and blessings rolled into one). Enjoy your new role as Daddy!
