Hello Family and Friends,
We have been trying, crying, and waiting for this day to come for almost 10 years. And God is faithful...He has not forgotten us after all!!! We are SUPER excited to announce our little Lee, Lincoln Lee!!! We received our referral yesterday. He was born on 12/13/11 and is a healthy little boy. He's living with a loving foster family right now. We believe he's in a great place. We can't wait to be united with him.
We named him Lincoln in hopes that he will make some lasting impact as President Lincoln did during his lifetime. We pray that our little Lincoln will grow up to be a man who not only loves the Lord, but His people, that he will be compassionate and kind to others and stand up for the powerless. That is our prayer for our child.
Many of you may be wondering WHEN he's coming home. Well, it's not that simple. The second phase of paperwork and waiting begins. We were told that it could take anywhere between 4-8 months. I know! Here we go again! We would be so thankful if we could be allowed to go get him before the end of the year. Do join us in prayer for our little Lincoln that he continues to grow healthy and that we are united soon.
Thank you for your support through prayers and some of you, financially. This baby is truly a result of all of our prayers and God's faithfulness.

From our social worker:
"You are more than welcome to share pictures with your family and friends "privately" (e.g. through email). You just can't post anything to a public forum like your facebook or a blog. Please remind family and friends to respect those boundaries as well when you share with them."
I plan to email Lincoln's pictures. But if you don't receive an email from me, that means I don't have your email address. Please email me at ilovehappy@gmail.com. Just to reiterate, please do NOT post his pictures on fb or blog. Don't let us forfeit our baby because of our careless excitement. Thanks for being understanding!!! :)
