... 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 strength and my rock.


Today (1) year later - August 6, 2008
Our precious baby boy turns (one) today, I thank our awesome GOD for orchestrating and delivering our son to us and with the same grateful heart, I also thank GOD for Seth's birth parents, although sethey's birth mother passed away back in 2007 - there is no doubt in my mind that she is with us everyday in spirit. Kacey I thank you for allowing our God to use you in such a powerful way, your spirit lives with us everyday and also with your precious children that you have lefted here on earth. I can't thank you enough for the gift that was given to us and may your spirit live in paradise for eternity.
Sethey HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Baby Boy !!!!! We love you soooooo much ...... pictures to follow tonight. Stay tuned !!!!


Our Baby Emmanuel 5th birthday Today

"Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live, even though he dies".

Yes today 5 years ago, I was in the hospital working my way to giving birth to our still born son Baby Emmanuel. Although, baby emmanuel is not with us on earth, he remains very close to me in my heart. I know he is in Heaven playing with Jesus and with our grandparents that are up their too. Having to live those difficult moments in our life just continues to remind me of how good our GOD is. Three years later to almost the same day, in GOD's infinite wisdom he created baby seth in another women's body to be delivered to Herb and I on August 6th, 2007. Our precious Lord has given me the best of both world's. I experienced the physical pain of Labor with Baby Emmanuel along with the emotional wounds that came with it, but I also experienced GOD's Glory during that entire time. Our Jesus never ever left our side, he was walking with me every step of the way, along with our precious Blessed Mother. And then, three years later he blessed us with Baby Seth - who's birthday is tommorrow. I could not ask for anything more.

Someday my precious son we will all be reunited in Heaven and there will be nothing but joyous laughter for the rest of our lives. I love you so very much baby emmanuel and I carry you in my heart every single day of my life.

Today, I will light a candle for you - please continue to be our angel in heaven and to be the beacon of light that we all need here on earth. I love you my precious boy.

Love your Mama !!! Happy 5th Birthday
