Nathaniel Mesfin West

We officially have a SON! The adoption is almost completed!

The paper pregnancy may take much longer than 9 months, but God's will is never without opposition! He has called Holly and I to fill our home with orphans!

Our adoption agency made our travel arrangements this morning, leaving Seattle June 7.

It's overwhelming, It's really going to happen...THANK YOU JESUS...Holly and I will be in ETHIOPIA very soon...not just to hold our son BUT to have our son...

Because the court case was finalized we are allowed to share pictures, so here's the first glimpses of Mesfin (his given Ethiopian name, it means duke)...

Oh and He was born January 8, 2008...so He'll be 5 months old when we bring him home...WOW

James 1:27 (AMP) External religious worship (religion as it is expressed in outward acts) that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.
