Cindi -


Your son is beautiful! Love those big brown eyes! Best wishes to your family. Here is a poem I'd like to share with you.
<H1 align=center>Half A World Away</H1>
By Jill Work (http://www.comeunity.com/adoption/adopt/worldaway.html#Jill Work)
<CENTER>



<TABLE>
<T>
<TR>
<TD> A half a world away
Sometimes it seems we're so far apart
But a half a world away
Is not too far for a journey of the heart

My little one, my bundle of joy
I'm waiting for you
My precious son, my baby boy
I know you're waiting, too

A half a world away
A child waits for a family of his own
While a half a world away
A family waits to come bring him home

My little one, my bundle of joy
I'm whispering a prayer
My precious son, my baby boy
I hope to soon be there

I hope that we
will no longer be
a half a world away.

Important question - what's his name?


Maureen
cindi8d
03-16-2006, 01:09 PM
well, his name right now is "charles" but we are changing it :)


He was abandoned and that was the name the orphanage gave him.


We haven't decided yet what we want to change it to.


Any suggestions??

Hi -


Our oldest is named Matthew which means "gift of God".


It would be cool to have a Ugandan name maybe as his middle name.


Maureen

Congratulations! He's adorable! My husband and I adopted our daughter
from China in June/2004 and we're adopting another. The paperwork is just
about done and we're figuring we'll be getting her in February or March.
Adoption is so exciting! Best of luck getting through the wait.

By the way, I think he sort of looks like a Charles!

Congratulations...here's something my mom foundwhen she adopted me...


"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone,


But still miraculously my own.


Never forget for a single minute,


You didn't grow under my heart, but in it."


Congratulations on your truest blessing...

Cindi,


Congrats to you and your hubby....... He is so cute with those big beautiful brown eyes! God bless you for giving this child an opportunity in this world. I have friends from Uganda and they are some of the nicest people I have ever met. He does look like a Charles - I like Charles Haben smileys/smiley36.gif
