We got the call on Friday the 13th, who said that is an unlucky day! We now have the referral of our son, Nathan Lee, Nathan meaning "gift from God"and Lee is Casey's middle name. He was born Juen 24th, 2007. He is a healthy baby and now weighs 6lbs 14 oz and is 21in long. He is a tiny little fellow! He has a head full of dark hair of coarse and is precious! We are very excited and are extremely anxious. We may share pictures on the blog at a later time once the process progresses.
Please pray for Nathan as he is taken care of at the orphanage by some wonderful people. Pray that he stays healthy and does not develop any health problems. Please join us in beginning to pray that God will start preparing him for when we bring him home and the huge transition he will have to go through.
We have officially started the process on the Guatemala side. We are thankful the we were assigned the same lawyer that we had the with the last referral. The first thing that will be done is the DNA with the birthmother. It should be completed within 6 weeks. Pray that she shows up for the test and interview with the social worker and all goes smooth.
We are still looking at about anywhere from 6-8 months from now before we travel to pick him up to bring him home. Pray that we will be able to wait patiently during this time as we watch Nathan grow through a computer screen. We know this is all in God's perfect plan and we trust in Him and He is good all the time.
Thank you for your prayers and support during this whole process. I can not believe God has brought us this far, but He is God! We have prayed so long for this child it is hard to believe we can actually see his face- WOW! It is still so unreal.
Thanking Him,
Stephanie and Casey
