Introducing Zachary Samuel





Here is our son! We are beyond excited. I don't know what to do with myself. It is incredible to watch how God answered our request for a preschool aged girl with a handsome 8 year old boy! And we know that he is the perfect child for our family. Our girls have been so excited about welcoming him home. We hope to travel in October and boy! do we have lots to do to get ready for him. We need boy clothes and we need to paint his bedroom something besides PINK! We are overjoyed and praising God!

We are still deciding on how to spell his name (so many choices for that!). He is currently in Liaoning Province in the city of Dalian. His birthday is 4/30/1999 and has been in foster care since he was 5. He attends the Liaoning School for the foundling and will be in 3rd grade when he comes home. That puts him right in the middle of the gap between our girls. They are currently 12, 10 and 5 (almost 6). So they will be 7th grade, 5th, 3rd and 1st! Perfect spacing!

"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him." 1 Samuel 1:27
