Well two days from today, on 1-11-12, we will celebrate Jamie's Adoption Day 1 Year Anniversary. We don't plan on having a party, just keeping it simple. We will pull out his first year life book and look at all the pictures, talk about his adoption, and talk about the commitment we made to him that day. I plan to make his favorites foods for the day, including his all time fave, pancakes for breakfast and cupcakes for dessert.
The really neat things is that we inadvertently planned to have some friends from church over for dinner that night. It will be super fun for Jamie as they have a child his age and he loves play-dates. But the super cool, super blessed thing about our dinner...they are coming over because they want to talk about fostering and adoption. What a special way to honor our son on his Adoption Day. We can hopefully inspire/encourage another family to reach out and embrace a child that is in need of a family, whether it be for a little while or forever.

Tiny Baby 2 Month Checkup
Well the holidays took a toll on my blog writing. Sorry for the long delay. Tiny Baby had his 2 month checkup at the end of December. He almost doubled his birth weight at a whopping 10 lbs 9 oz. He is now 22 inches long. The doctor was very pleased with his progress. We did have a concern as he was not socially smiling yet. Well don't you know, a few days after his appointment he broke out the smiles for all to see. He is talking and cooing and just delightful.
There is nothing to update regarding the situation. No family visits, no news, just continuing to take it day by day. My specific prayers are the following
1. That his Mom can do what she needs to do to provide a safe and loving home for him and their relationship can be redeemed. As much as we love him and as hard as this would be we know that this would be the ultimate win for him.
or
2. His Mom would realize her current situation is no place for a child and voluntarily relinquish her rights so that he can have a safe and loving home. I don't want the state to have to terminate, but if that is necessary then of course we would support that.
So please join me in prayer.
