Abundantly blessed!

It is with overflowing joy that we announce the referral of our newest addition!!! After waiting over 10 months we finally got to see our son!

We received the great news on Friday but, without going into the whole story, hit a few bumps between then and now. Those have since been ironed out (mostly!) but we would appreciate any prayers said on our behalf!

Our little guy was born on January 24, 2008, so he will be 5 months old tomorrow (6/24.) He is currently in a foster home in Seoul, is very healthy, happy and well loved. And of course we think he is just beautiful! If everything goes well, we hope to have him home in October or November.

We feel very blessed to be able to welcome another beautiful child into our family. We love him already and cannot wait for the day that he joins our family forever! We continue to be humbled and in awe of the continous blessings God brings into our lives!

And here he is......our new little guy!


We have not chosen a name for him yet, and since Mike is currently in Georgia it will be a few days before we have a chance to really talk about it. But we will certainly let you know as soon as he has a new name!

Thank you for all of your love, support and prayers throughout this journey! We are so glad to finally be at this point in the process but still ask for your prayers as we get through the time it takes to get him home! We will surely keep you updated on our progress!

With love and great excitement~
Mike, Kristen, Marina and Alexander

Abundantly blessed is a good phrase for your whole life. Not just since you became parents. You and Mike are wonderful people and the two of you would have made history alone!! Congratulations on the super expansion of your family. We love you.
