We have talked, prayed, cried, and laughed over this little guy for the past few days. His name is Micah and is in orphanage #5 in Eastern Europe. He has Down Syndrome. He will be our son very soon. We committed to adopt him today and we are on our way to bring him home in the Spring of 2011! I am so blessed to have a husband who was on board from day 1, in love with him as much as I was. We are blessed with funds we weren't expecting to get the process started. And now we work, pray, and fundraise! Once the adoption is final, his name will be Micah Charles Ray. Micah means "who is like God?" and we found it fitting to keep that for him, and Charles was Barry's dad's name. It's funny, in all our pregnancies, we've always wanted another boy, but we could never really settle on a boy name that would stick each time. Charles was always the middle name, but Micah is not something we would've ever picked out on our own. We had Benjamin, Joshua, Hudson, Henry, Garrett, and others, but none of those fit him. He is a Micah :) And he will soon be ours!

Congratulations! I am very excited to read about your journey to bring Micah home. He is so, so cute!
Just found your blog from Marianne's. I live in Temecula so by blog standards, we are neighbors!!! I have 3 daughters age 11 1/2, 10 and our littlest, Ella who has Ds and is 2 1/2. I am a HUGE advocate of adopting through RR and hope to do it myself someday. I am completely head over heels in love with Darya and am looking forward to meeting her when they get to CA. I am so excited for the adventure you are about to embark on. I am sure that Ella will be looking for a boyfriend in the future and maybe Micah can fill that role :) I really look forward to following your journey.
Oh, and I hope you don't mind but I think I am going to steal your blog design if possible. I have the perfect picture for it.
Hi! Micah is a beautiful baby boy. I spent 12 weeks at orphanage 5 last year adopting our 2 little boys, Max and JT, ages 2 and 5 now. It is a great orphanage (for an orphanage, LOL) and I would love to tell you all about it sometime soon. Our blog address is www.harrisfamilyjourneys.blogspot.com and you can find me on facebook at Jolie Robinson Harris. There are a number of us #5 mommas and we will all be glad to welcome you to our little group!!! Congratulations! Hope to talk to you soon!
