Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them...he cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” God said, “I did do something. I made you.” ~Author Unknown

One Less Orphan...One More Bonner

 
I joyfully announce that after 4 court appointments, we are officially the parents of  the most precious 3 year old boy.  On 3 separate occassions,  folks have described him as having a "big personality".  (Is that code for running crazy?  That's the type of code language we use in Sunday School class :) )  Well...he's probably about to turn our quiet, calm 2 girl household upside down. 
 
And, I say Praise God!!!
   
We don't have a travel date yet, and probably won't for several weeks.  We are HOPING to travel mid-July to bring him home.  We appreciate your continued prayers as several more things have to fall into place before we can travel.

Something to ponder...
This time last year adoption wasn't on our radar screen.  We thought our family was complete.  If the Holy Spirit is nudging you, I say JUMP.  It might just be the blessing of your life!!!

    I am so excited for you guys!!! We have a July 15th embassy appointment now, but do not have our I-171 back so we will probably be traveling for the July 29th one. We could be over there around the same time though. Very Exciting...I can't wait to meet your little man!

    Thank-you Jesus! I am so excited for your family and your precious little boy. Big personalities are fun and yes, little boys are way different than little girls but not in a bad way! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you.

    That's awesome news! We're leaving soon to pick up our 2 1/2 yo son and 8mos girl, probably just a few weeks ahead of you. Toddler adoption is not as common as infant or "older" child, it seems, so it's really fun to know another blogger about to embark on a similar journey. Our little man has also been described as having a big personality. :)
