Today we received an amazing blessing from God. Small World Adoption Agency sent us these new photos of Joshua Colby. He will be 18 months old on June 1. We are not certain how old he was in the older photos we have of him that are posted below on this blog. We think he may have been around nine months old in those pictures. If you compare them with the new ones he has certainly grown and looks like he is being fed well. We have been praying that God would watch over him and care for all of his needs (physically, spiritually and emotionally) while we all wait to be united as a family. Please join us in these prayers.
Our dossier has now been logged in by the Chinese government since our last blog-post. After receiving and logging it in they have also requested some additional documents. These are now on the way to them and will be added to our paperwork. Please pray that these arrive to them and that they are processed quickly and added to our file. The Waiting Child program that Joshua is a part of is moving very fast and the quicker they receive these documents in China the quicker we can go and get him.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and encouragement as we continue on this journey to Joshua! Please leave any comments or questions you may have here on our blog. You can do that simply by clicking on "comments" down below Joshua's next photo. After typing your comment the simplest way to post that is to click on "other" and then type your name. Otherwise it will ask you to sign up for a blogspot account. Choosing "other" and signing your name is the quickest and easiest way to leave a comment unless you want to start your own blog.

Woohoo! Teta Laura is SO excited to meet little man Joshua! I'm going to have to come up with my own little nickname for him. :) He looks like he's healthy Praise the LORD! And God is watching over Him until you get there... because He loves and cherishes that little boy so much more than you ever could (and THAT'S a lot!) Love you guys and loving being part of the journey!
