Today is a really exciting day for our family!! We have accepted a referral of a beautiful, precious baby boy from Korea!! Words can not even describe how wonderful it was for us to receive the call from our social worker, with the news about this amazing blessing. After much prayer, we both knew that this was our child. Of course, we wanted to shout it from the rooftops, but rather we've been very busy the last couple weeks working on acceptance paperwork, having medical reviews, compiling lots of needed documents, and much more. Now, that the paperwork is done, we've been given the go-ahead to share the news, along with pictures of our little blessing!! Baby McIntosh is almost 7 monthes old. He was born Feb 25. His Korean name is Seong. We'll working on his new name, and will be using part of his Korean name as well. He is currently living in a foster home, which is the picture of him with his foster mama. We pray daily for Mrs. Gong and her family, who are caring for our little guy. We anticipate approximately 7-11 months still before we can travel to bring him home.
Our kids are so incredible excited about their new baby brother! They picked out a new blanket for the little guy, and we're working on other fun things we'll that get to send in a care package soon. Is it too soon to get him in a Vikings jersey??! (J/K!)
We would ask for continued prayer support, for the remainder of our journey until this little sweetheart is home with us. I'm already growing inpatient, but I know and trust that God's timing is always perfect. I believe that God is filling in the gaps, providing everything this little one needs. We're so honored that God has entrusted us to be mom and dad to this precious little one.
We're also believing for a huge miracle financially, so if anyone has any good fundraising ideas, feel free to let me know! God has led us to adopt, directed the timing, the child, and is also providing the funds needed to make this dream a reality. He is faithful!
We'll keep you posted as we receive more information about our little guy!
Thanks for all your support!
