IT'S A BOY!!!!!

I am so excited to say that we are now fully engulfed in the "paper pregnancy" stage!  I am still learning what I can and can't say and do on the blog but this is what I can tell you........we are in LOVE with an amazing 2 yr old boy in China and have started all our paperwork (homestudy) to bring him home.

So what does this all mean.......

We found "Ezekiel" which is his cyber name to protect his identity, on http://www.reecesrainbow.org/.  We have submitted our request to China to adopt him with an agency.  China has reviewed our papers and pre-approved us.  By doing this he is put "on-hold" for our family and taken off the international listing.  We now have 6 months to get all our paperwork (dossier) into China.  They then review that which is a much much more detailed and official "book" of our entire lives :)  When they approve that they will do the final official match of Ezekiel with us.  At that time they will also give us our travel date to go pick him up and that is when we can finally post pictures of him......uggghhhhhh I know

So tell us about him.........

One thing is that he is an extra special little boy.  Unfortunately what makes him so special to us is the same reason he is probably at the orphanage.  Our little guy has down syndrome but to us he is perfect and wonderfully made.  Made exactly how God wanted him.
 That is the info we had before we applied to commit to him.  Once we were pre-approved we were able to ask his orphanage about him.  Yesterday we got a response and can I say he will fit perfect in our family.  We are told he loves music and dancing.  They said he will dance for 30 min at a time and just giggle the entire time.  They also told us that he loves, loves, loves the outdoors.  Anything outside makes him happy.  He is just starting to walk and loves pushing his walker around out there.....lol.

So there you have it........I can't wait to share this journey with everyone.  I will post later this week how this whole journey began!!
