Exciting News

We are very excited to say that we have a baby boy in North Carolina. He was born on July 14th and weighed 6 pounds 13 oz and was 18 in long. We are able to pick him up Mon. July 21 right away in the morning. We will be posting pics and let you know what his name is when we get there and get a chance to update. Please pray for safe travel and for our son. Please also pray for his birthparents.
Thank you very much for the prayers and support through our adoption process.
Dustin and Ashley

Oh, I am just so happy for you guys! I got goose bumps in church yesterday when they announced it! I think I was just sitting there grinning stupidly! I hope and pray that all is going well and that you will soon be home w/ your new baby boy! I am just floored at how fast that went and i'm sure you kind of are too! Can't wait to talk to you. Praying for safe travels and that everything will go smoothly.
