Hello Family and Friends....
We are thrilled to be welcoming Michael into our family and embarking on the first leg of our adoption journey here in Kenya. Expecting a child around 1 year, we were surprisingly matched with Michael who just turned 3 months. He's very precious and we feel incredibly lucky. Of course, we still have a long road to go before everything is finalized... 3 months fostering, however long the legal process takes to finalize in Kenya, and then the 2 year + process of getting his U.S. citizenship. But, as any parent knows....time moves fast when caring for little ones. We're hoping to be matched with our second boy in about 6 months. That's when things will get REAL interesting. Looking for prayers, good vibes, whatever you got. :)
Mary the social worker with Michael. Mary brought him from the hospital (Pumwani) to the orphanage (Thomas Bernardo) after he was born. She is the one who gave him the name Michael.
