... And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. - Hebrews 11:6

Who, What and When did this happen


This is our story about Seth James.


After pretty much being infertile for it seems like forever, my hubbie and I decided to try Invitro Fertilization back in 2003. Running a 50-50 chance that I could get pregnant, I did. We were over the moon with happiness. Into the fourth month of my pregnancy, we began to endure complications as it seemed that there was a problem with the baby.


It turned out after carrying the baby for 7 1/2 months, I had to give birth to our stillborn son, Baby Emmanuel. It was a very long journey for me my hubbie and pretty much the entire family. After struggling with infertility, I finally get pregnant to only lose the baby 7 1/2 mths in the womb.


But our faithful God and his infinite plan always carried me through.
Today August 14th, 2006 - I proudly annouce the birth of our new adopted son Seth James. Seth came into this world on August 6th, weighing 7 lbs 11.6 oz and 19 1/2" long.


This domestic adoption was very emotional, again our faith carried us through day in and day out. In the next few post I will go into detail about what this domestic adoption entailed and how life is for us now that our little man is home.


I want to give God all the glory and honor for orchestrating this domestic adoption. For allowing me to be still and listen to your voice even though I was surrounded by many distractions throughout this process. You told me many times to remain faithful to you, to TRUST YOU above all things and that you would do the rest. How blessed we are dear Lord to be able to take all of our thoughts and worries and hand them over to you and you will carry the cross for us as we make our way toward our journey.


I love you Lord more than the whole world and back. Thank you for being my heavenly father, my source of srength and my rock.

I was so excited to hear about Seth. I can't think of two more deserving parents. What a luck baby! What a lucky couple! What a beautiful family! I will make an effort to get Jade up there a little later in the year so she can meet her new cousin. Lots of love to the four of you.
