Reg and Anne's new son
#1

Our forum member Reg and his wife, Anne, have been trying to adopt a baby, and I am happy to report the paper work has gone through and they are now waiting to pick up their son in a few months. Here's two of the letters he sent my way. Just had to share. CONGRATS you two!!! :clappin2:

 

==============

 

Dear All ,

 

A few days ago you received my mail telling you we have become proud parents .

 

Attached you find the first pics of our son . One taken when he was 5 months . The other one taken about 10 days ago .

 

We will be flying into Ethiopia to pick him up in about 3 months from now .

 

His name is MATHIEU Jans , pronounced as Matthew but without the ‘W’ and is a real stud…J

 

All the best

Reg

Dear friends ,

 

I’m writing this messages during my lunch break with tears in my eyes .

 

Two hours ago we received a phone call from the adoption agency to congratulate us for becoming parents of a healthy boy , born 17 february 2008 .

 

That’s all we know so far , being very weary from receiving that call we forgot his original name so I have to call them back later this afternoon .

 

Tomorrow they are expecting us at the office where we will get all the info about our son and we can see his face on a picture for the first time .

 

We didn’t have a chance yet to personally inform our family . They’ll find out about it tomorrow .

 

In times of crisis and wars there’s always a light that shines somewhere . Today it shines in our hearts and so it will be for the rest of our life.

 

A very proud mom and dad

 

Reg

More info tomorrow ……

Take care
