Most of you know that God has blessed us now with two sons.
We recieved a call on Thanksgiving day that we had a new son.
After much prayer and thought, we started a process for a domestic adoption in June. We did not expect the process to go quickly, but God (as He always does) had other plans. Needless to say, we were very shocked and surprised.
We brought our son, Cooper, home December 8th. He was about 2.5 weeks old. Life has been much different since bringing him home. I am a full-time mommy to a newborn. Never thought there would be a chapter in our journey written like this. I am so thankful for this little miracle... this wonderful blessing!
We wish nothing more than for his big brother, Nathan, to be home with us all. We continue to pray for a miracle for him to come home forever. Nathan is our son and we love and miss him!
We are waiting to post pictures of our newest addition, so you will have to continue to wait just a little while longer before you see his sweet face. Trust me, I have plenty of pictures to catch you all up on the first weeks of his life:)
I plan to post mostly to our family blog (allumsfamily.blogspot.com), but any adoption related isssues or news, I will post here.
I leave you with a picture of our brave little boy....

AWWW Huney... BIG HUGS!!!
I am so proud for you, you have been through so much. I am continuing to pray for a miracle for your precious Nathan. In the meantime (God's time, that is) hang in there and keep up the good fight. Maybe one day this precious angel will be home with you all too.

how precious!!! you do not know me nor do i know you... i found your blog one night after chasing friend's of friend's of friend's blogs and your story and faith just blessed my socks off and tore a hole in my momma's heart. i lost the link this past summer and shortly there after my youngest child died. my heart has prayed for your broken heart so much as my own has sought it's healing. God is so awesome and He is so good and what an amazing blessing you hold in your arms!!!! but i also know the ache and longing in your heart for your precious one that you cannot hold. i know this ache. my heart will continue to remember and pray for you and your sweet family.
may your journey be blessed overwhelmingly and your little ones always know the comfort of your love!
