Josiah’s Gotcha Slideshow

Our Family Mission

I LOVE it!! The smiles on your faces are priceless! So thankful you made it there safely and were finally able to hold your SON! Love you!
Casey and Mary Beth,
He’s beautiful! We’re so happy for y’all and know that Josiah will be loved by so many over here! Can’t wait to meet him and get to know him. Caleb is going to be such a good big brother – it’s going to be fun watching them grow up together. Thanks for keeping us in the loop with your blog and we’ll see you next Friday at the airport!
Love,
Morris (GUM)
What a great first picture! Thanks to God that you are finally together. What a blessing after your long journey to this point. I know you must be so anxious to get him home and add Caleb to the mix! We are praying for smooth transitions for each of you. We love you. GAB
Congratulations! It’s wonderful to see you two holding your little guy. I’m so glad that you’re able to tweet and blog – we’ve loved following along. I kind of find myself reliving our trip through you guys. Enjoy the rest of your time in Ethiopia!
How wonderful to be able to see this process all the way through! You all look so happy in this picture and I know it will be one you will treasure forever. I know you can’t wait for your sons to meet! God bless you on the rest of your journey!
We are thankful that you are holding your son for the first time, and look so happy. We had a few tears of joy when we saw the picture. We continue to pray for you all and look forward to seeing you Friday evening. God bless, and much love.
This picture has me teary eyed! He is so beautiful and you all make a beautiful family!!! God Bless you all!
I’m crying tears of joy! That picture is why I’ve been checking my e-mail and facebook every 30 minutes! We are overjoyed for your new family of four. Josiah is precious and I’m sure he’s enjoying getting to know you. We can’t wait to see more pictures and hear all your stories. What a blessing he will be to our family!! Love you so much.
That’s a great picture. Thanks for sharing it. We’re praying for your quick and safe return.
Jo came to visit 2 days ago and told us about this event. Congrats and many blessings as you begin this life adventure, I’m sure the Lord will bless and magnify you all! We attend church with a couple who adopted 4 international children, they are some of our favorite people and have a fantastic family.
