Words can't express the joy we feel today as we met and adopted Josiah Haibo Reynolds. His adoption is official and he is now a Reynolds! I only have about 10 minutes before we go to one more appointment at the police station this afternoon, so I will just post a few photos. Everything has gone very well so far and we are bonding quickly with Josiah. He is already calling Katie "Ma Ma". He is a cute little boy and is already smiling and laughing. We will update everyone on our day in greater detail later tonight (morning in the US). He can't wait to meet his sisters!!
One prayer request, Josiah has a bad cold so pray he would get better quickly and that we would be protected from getting sick the next few days.
Here are few photos from our first couple hours with Josiah!

ReplyDeleteMe too! Tears of joy!!! Congratulations!!!!
DeleteSo precious! Congratulations Reynolds family! Praising God with you for this blessing. He looks like such a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteThis is too much!! Tears over here. He is amazing and before time began God knew that he would be your son. Use that Breath oil on his feet and chest and also the Onguard.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. Pics are a true lens into the love of God and display, in a limited way, how I see Him look upon us, cradle us, sing songs of love to us, feed us, clothe us, give us His name. With full rights and benefits. Our Heavenly father defines our privilege to be called sons and daughters and serve as mothers and fathers to the children He gives us to steward. We love you guys. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteSpeechless. Wonderful, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI showed Isaiah, and he pointed to the picture and said hi bo bo! I am so excited for you all, and will be praying for health and safe travels. I second Jen with the oils. If it gets worse at night I agree with the breathe on the chest with a warm wash cloth-- it's like vicks!
ReplyDeleteRejoicing with you!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! The Barry boys and I are rejoicing with you all! What a precious boy God has given you. We can't wait to meet him someday. We will pray for you as you transition into everyday life.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind that I posted this to Facebook and now there are hundreds of likes and comments. How's that for a cloud of witnesses?
ReplyDeleteWow. Way to go both of you. Apparently God dwells in China too. Praise The Lord. Can't wait to meet him face to face. Love you guys.
ReplyDeletePraise God!
