Hola Familia & Amigos,
It is with great pleasure that we get to introduce our son Michael Kenneth Ives. We are having to pinch ourselves to realize that he is forever ours :) Our meeting with him took place yesterday around 3pm and it was an experience we will never forget. We got to share it with another couple from France adopting a little boy. While at FANA I got to meet the same person that gave me to my Mom and an another FANA adoptee (like myself) presented Michael to us. He is very happy and healthy, not even fitting in some of the 9 month pants that I brought him ;) We are definitely new parents trying to figure it all out but trusting our instincts along the way. He is currently still on the bottle and slept from 9:30-5:30 last night. We are savoring every moment and thank you all for supporting us in the process. Above are a couple of pictures for your enjoyment.
Luv,
Kristin, Matt, & Michael

I love the pictures! You are such a beautiful family! Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment in your family's life with us. The Keil Family

ReplyDeleteWe both cried tears of joy when we read your news!! How wonderfully exciting. Kristin, it is amazing that you were able to meet the woman who placed you in the loving arms of your mom. So glad that Matt could be there - stay safe - we pray that God has built a hedge of protection around all of you. Can't wait to meet Michael!
