Here's our official birth announcement on FB...we're having a baby boy! Well, technically he's not a baby. But he is a 4 year old boy and he'll always be my baby He's at Bethel China right now, and has been in Beijing for the past year, so be sure to check them out. It's a wonderful organization doing amazing things for children with vision impairments. Our boy had cataracts and will need glasses and therapy when he comes home. Pictures soon! We'll travel, hopefully, in March! We are so thankful for amazing friends who have been so generous as we've walked this journey.
Above is the first picture we opened in an email back in October of 2012!
JingWu is the older boy.
It took one year to complete the paperwork. We hope to travel in March of 2014.
Drum roll...
