We have a son!!!

We are overjoyed to share that God has blessed us
with a one month old son from Can Tho, Vietnam.

His name is Nehemiah Sang Perryman
and we are hoping to travel to VN in 5-10 months.



Our first picture as a family.

A girlfriend of mine pointed out that the day we last posted (our announcement that we were choosing a new program and VN was closing) was Sunday, May 18th.
This is Nehemiah's birthday!
As all parents in the adoption world know, God truly hand-selects each child for their family and we KNOW that many obstacles were removed to bring this referral to us before the country has a shutdown.
We stand amazed!
Many questions have been asked about China. We will have a daughter come home to us from China in about 3-5 years.
Our family had a wonderful time at Vietnam camp. Please check out pictures...
With LOVE,
Adam, Natasha, Avi Joy and Nehemiah
"Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace. Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields; our oxen will draw heavy loads. There will be no breaching of walls, no going into captivity, no cry of distress in our streets. Blessed are the people of whom this is true; blessed are the people whose God is the Lord." Psalm 144:12-15

For the billionth time (smile) he is soooooo beautiful and I am so happy that God opened this door for your family. Both of your children have amazing stories of God's grace in placing them with a family (yours, obviously) and I know you are up for the task He has given you to raise up a Godly man.

The Lord has done imaginably more than all we could imagine sweet friend. I remember praying with you and receiving your e-mail about the closure of Vietnam just days later. Prayer is so powerfully effective. God heard your heart, and it was His will that Your Son, Nehemiah was to come from Vietnam! I am crying and rejoicing with You, Adam and Avi Joy as I type this note. OUR GOD is good and loving always! We are so filled with Joy for you all! Sending you our love and hugs, Kyle, Michele and Kari Lynne
