By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours.
An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for,
received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full.
Love is meant to be shared.

Medical Exam ~ CHECK



Jacob had his medical exam at the SOS International Clinic this morning. He weighed 18.8lbs and was 30.7" long. According to the CDC, he fell off the chart for weight and is 50th% for height. I knew he was thin. According to the agency, he was 19lbs 2 months ago, but he is walking now. The doctor said he looks good and confirmed that it is Mongolian spots on his back and butt.

Tomorrow is our appointment with the Embassy for Jacob's visa. Then WE ARE DONE!!!! Less than a week from baby to visa!!!
