We can't believe it, we are finally parents. Michael Ermek Collingham was presented to us July 30th, 2007 0915 Bishkek time. We can't express the joy we felt as we picked up our little boy for the first time. All the hard paperwork and waiting and worry, and the agonizing went away. He is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!! We can't believe how remarkable he is. We are in awe of an incredible God who gave us this gift of a child. He just went down for his first nap very easily after his first bottle. We'll have to take him out in the middle of his nap cycle to pick up his formula and what the orphanage was giving to him. Enjoy these pictures as we enjoy our little son.

Congratulations John & Gen!!! I get goosebumps just reading about what it was like to hold your baby! Your adventurous life continues! :) All the best to your family during your first few days together. I hope you get to experience the country and take home some of the culture. We'll be thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers! :) Sara & Eric Lee
