First of all, I didn't realize it's been so long since I last posted on the blog. It's been a busy three months!
Our baby girl Imara came into the world on May 9th, and we got to meet her for the first time on May 10th, yes, the best Mother's Day gift ever!

Since then, its been feeding and diapering and cuddling and more feeding...loving every minute of it. She has brought so much joy not only to our lives, but also to the village, the community that has been praying and waiting with us throughout this adoption adventure.

Imara is a wonderful road warrior, she has already traveled from her birth state of Florida, along the East Coast to our hometown of Philly, and on to current home state of Minnesota, and that was just within her first month of life. She made the trip back to the East Coast again to meet the family this July.

As it turns out, a couple of weeks ago, we got the call that her birth mother is pregnant again, and would we like to adopt her sibling? Well, yes off course we want to adopt her sibling...what wonderful news! And yes, as you can well imagine, we are more than a little overwhelmed. But, God is good...and God will provide, again. If you would like to join in our adventure of adopting Imara's brother or sister, please visit our

In the meantime, I leave you with this thought: Children are a gift from the Lord (Psalm 127:3)...a gift not just to the parents, but to the village, the nation, the world. We are so honored to be parenting Imara, preparing her to accomplish the purposes for which she was created. Thank you for being the village for her.
