It is with great joy and excitement that we introduce little "Caleb Jordan" to our family! On Wednesday August 8th, "Jordan" as he is called, was adopted! Words cannot express how we feel. The attached pictures show our Florida Baptist Children's Home representatives and our attorney who handled the adoption process. God has been so good to us by allowing us the privilege of having this little guy in our home for the past year, and now for the privilege of raising him in the nurture and admonition of the Lord! We are so excited! We are so thankful! We are so BLESSED! For those of you who haven't met Jordan, he is a bundle of joy and energy! He is a good baby, easy-going, very observant and inquisitive. He loves to ride in his little red plastic car (as dad and mom push him from here to there), loves to play with his Arkansas Razorback Baseball bat and ball that his Uncle Eddie gave to him for his first birthday, and likes to play with his little friend, Alex, the son of Jeff and Kristy Robb.
He loves going to church and being the life of the party in the nursery. And all the people at church have fallen head over heals in love with him.
We want to thank all who have been praying for this adoption to happen. It's been a long, up-and-down roller coaster of a ride, from the standpoint of finalizing the adoption. Once Jordan was placed from foster care in our home to adoptive status, the process seemed to be slow as Christmas. We were given adoption dates that were on again, off again, papers to sign, etc. However, in God's divine time, He purposed it to happen. We both realized that God's timing is perfect, that He knows best, and that it will happen when He wants it to, not us! To be honest, it doesn't seem like it's been a year and a month since he's come into our home. And I don't really think that it has sunken into my small brain that he is now my SON! For now, I'm praising the Lord!
I will try to start a picture page on the web, probably on flickr (thanks to the Headys and the Johnsons for the recommendation), and once it's up and running, I'll post the updates/info on my blog page for you to go and view.
Till then, keep in touch, stay in the Word, and come see us in PC!
Love in Christ,
Bobby, Cheryl, Jordan and Big Mama!
