It's a boy!


On Christmas Eve, we received the call that we have been matched with a baby boy. We named him Nathanael Sung-En Shubert. Nathanael means "Gift from God". We had chosen another middle name for Nathanael, but when we got the call and were told his Chinese name and its meaning, we decided to keep that as his middle name. Sung-En means "praise and grace" or "praise His grace". We felt this was perfect for our little boy! We were told that it should be about 4 months until we are able to travel and bring him home! We are so excited. He is 21 days old today!

  1. So happy for all three of you! That is a beautiful boy - such a sweet face. Praying for God's calming peace as you wait to meet him - trust me, you'll need it. ;)

  2. Praise the Lord!!! I'm so excited for you all!!!! :) Nathanael is absolutely gorgeous!! I can hardly wait to meet him in person. If I'm this excited, I can only imagine how you feel!
    I guess you'll want to change your profile statement soon. I'd say you're beyond "beginning the journey." :)
