Our heartfelt thanks to everyone around the globe who has been praying for us. Not just for the new addition to be part of our family, but for the health & well-being of his wonderful, caring birthmother; for the staff here at Renown Regional who have been great to us as adoptive parents; for the most peaceful labor & delivery we could have imagined; for all travel plans & arrangements (huge thank you for the Ken & Becky Holderman and Jim & Patti Hemsley); and especially for Little Man himself. We feel so loved and supported by all of you during this blessed time in our lives. This little guy will know how many people have prayed for him and loved him before he was even born.   Our biggest thanks is to God Himself – for His wonderful ways and His plans for our lives. Without Him, none of this would have been possible.
