Introducing...........our son! Shaun Henry!!!I cannot explain the cloud I am on right now, it is more like disbelief.........somebody pinch me!
At 2pm today I had just arrived home form getting groceries when I looked at my cell phone to see if it needed to be charged. Well, to my surprise, a messege from HOLT!!! So I put the groceries away while Kev got on the phone. Thinking that we just needed to update something......... Kevin asked for Suzie and after saying Hello, he said "REALLY". I knew just by looking at him that this was not a call about paperwork adjustments, this was THE CALL. I listened in stillness and watched my husband try to take in what she was saying..........then he said 9 months...............OH MY GOOODNESS! IT IS THE CALL............
We really did not expect this now, but are thrilled. Abby has a baby brother, we have our son! He is living with a foster family near Bangkok Thailand and was born on April 6th (Aunt sharon and cousin Anneka's birthdays!) He was released on June 26th (the day we left for China in 2004) by his birthmother. He lived with his Maternal grandmother for his first 2 months.
As you can see from the pictures taken on August 28th that he looks great! Happy and healthy. He does have a few minor skin irritations that we don't feel will be a major issue in the future.
He looks great to us, we love him already!
So............this is what this blog is about! Our family Journey to Shaun! It feels like it is just the beginning.
