JAYNE RILEY EDWARDS

Can you believe it? We are beyond thrilled and thankful to announce our new daughter. Her Korean name is Gim, Hye-mi and we think she is beautiful. We love our moms so much and are so happy to honor them with her name. One day, she will know the full measure of her own honor in having them. Jason's mom is Penelope Jayne Peth Edwards and Meg's mom was affectionately called Riley by her father growing up. Thanks moms, we love you both so much.

She is currently 6 1/2 months old and is doing great! She is little bitty but is growing and developing right on target. We are overwhelmed that she is actually ours and that this time is here. We feel very confident that she is the perfect little girl for our family, that The Lord picked her out just for us!

Please pray for our immigration papers for her. As we have said already, we switched from China to Korea and it is taking quite some time and many "hoops" to jump through in order to get that approval. As hard as it is to wait on that, we know that her arrival is all in His timing, not ours. So now, you all know, I am lying awake at night thinking of painting walls, buying girl clothes, a baby girl stroller, and fixing that darling little head of dark hair! We feel so blessed and wanted to share our wonderful news.

We would expect that it will take between 3-5 months before she is ready to come home. Yep, we will have a baby girl in 3-5 months! Thanks for all your encouragement...pray for her to continue to stay healthy and develop as she should...for her foster family to love on her and nurture while we wait for her. Please pray for the political situation in South Korea as Jason and his mother will be traveling to pick up Jayne Riley. Blessings to all.

Jason, Meg, & the boys.
