A new (old) photo of Ren!

We received the most amazing gift today: another picture of Ren! It was taken before his referral pictures - when he still had hair! - back in March of this year.

As soon as we received Ren's proposal, we joined a yahoo group dedicated to families who have adopted or are adopting from his orphanage. Families often receive or take photos of their children with other kids at the orphanage and I hoped we would be able to get more pictures of Ren that way. Well, today we did! A family who adopted their daughter in March contacted me to say they had a photo of their daughter with Ren!

Check out our cutie! (By the way, I've obscured their beautiful daughter's face to protect her privacy.)

Monica,

So happy for you. Ren looks great!

We know that big girl, and she is in many of our Teddi's pictures as well. In fact my last blog post was about her! We are blessed to have her as a link to our children's past!

Blessings as you wait ~
