Isn’t he precious?!? We are absolutely over the moon! His Congolese name is Dieudonne. (Pronounced Dyuu-doh-nay) It is French, meaning “God’s gift.” Could that be any more appropriate? He is around 6-7 months old and was abandoned at the Jamma Letu orphanage in July. He appears to be healthy as a horse! I have been staring at his sweet picture for hours and am already madly in love! When Sadie first saw Dieudonne’s pictures she exclaimed, “He looks just like Noah!” Not sure about that, but he definitely looks like he belongs in our family!
We will begin court proceedings in DRC this week. From here, if things move quickly, we could bring him home in as little as 3 months. If things move slowly, it could take up to 6 months. Please pray that our sweet, precious, little boy continues to stay healthy and that the courts can move at lightning speed so we bring him home as soon as possible. I am just dying to squeeze him and love on those sweet cheeks!
Congratulations! He is adorable. What beautiful eyes. It's so bittersweet to have those pictures and be able to see the little person that you love so much and yet have to wait, wait, wait. We'll be praying for fast court dates and travel.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, congratulations! He looks like a sweetie!! I hope the paperwork process goes super fast for your family. You must be so SO anxious to hold him.
ReplyDeleteHe is gorgeous. I actually saw his picture a few days ago in a batch of new pictures to be posted on the website. And I was very tempted to call and ask Jilma if he was spoken for yet. I am so excited for your family. Believe it or not the time will fly by! We will be praying for speedy travel dates!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! How exciting! I've been waiting for this to posted! He is such a cutie pie! I know he has your whole heart already. We will pray he will be in your arms in 3 months! I can't wait to meet him! What fun play dates we can have!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Megan and family!!! We can't wait to meet him. Are you planning on keeping his Congoleese name or changing it? Either way- he is perfect!! We couldn't be happier for you guys. Sadie is right... he does resemble Noah in the facial structure. Funny, huh? What a precious son to have!
ReplyDeleteHe's absolutely precious! He has such a wise old face...looks like perhaps he knows more about what's going on than we do. Or maybe he's just saying, "Uh, mom and dad, can you hurry it up already?" Congratulations!! (Jenn McGuire)
ReplyDeleteMegan, He's beautiful! Congratulations to you all! I will be praying for a swift and efficient court process. He's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLook at those big sweet eyes! Congratulations to your family!!

What a beautiful baby!!!! I am SO happy for you! He is just darling. Praise God!
ReplyDeleteDIEUDONNE would actually mean 'THE LORD GIVES'. The word DONNE in french is GIVE and DIEU is GOD/LORD/JESUS. Look what you have given Miles and in return look what Miles has Given you.
