Our first meeting with your Birth Parents was at the Zoo. So we brought a little bit of the Zoo to your room to remind us of the happiness that started there together.

Our little Miracle!












The story is beautifully sacred to my heart and I wish to capture the memories the best I can. And in time I will (its too much for one post) but for now and for all those loved ones emails, & phone calls requesting, for my 100th post I will share our amazing miracle that blessed our family...
Leaving out many precious details in between (For a public Blog) On May 20th 2010 we were invited to Temple Square by C* & S* and there they gave Benji a little monkey with a note that read...


To: Big Brother Benji

From: Baby!




She was due in 6 days!!!












Following a sacred experience shared in the hospital 2 weeks & 3 days latter on June 5th the sweetest baby boy was brought into this world with great effort on his mothers part. Including inducement for labor Friday night and ending with an urgent C-section Saturday morning. We shared precious memories with the birth family, testimonies, hugs and tears. On June 8th Tuesday; with no small sacrifice in many hearts. Baby Calvin James E. was placed into my arms and our
Family's years of Prayers were Answered.























I still can not write these

precious experiences (even watered down for our public blog) with out the overflowing of emotion. There is no possible way I can do this loving sacrifice justice with words. But I want to share the LOVE OF ADOPTION. The families involved are completely loving with Christ centered lives. We look forward to a healthy open adoption relationship in the years to come.













Our deepest love and appreciation to Our Heroes C* S* and Families & friends that loved and supported them.
