James 1:17: "Every good and perfect gift is from above.."
Dear Family and Friends,
We are writing with joy that truly cannot be expressed through words. After a very positive start (driving to Florida to get Julia) and the birthmother changing her mind resulting in many agonizing hours of despair; GOD's grace and goodness prevailed - JULIA MCGEE O'NEAL was placed with us on Friday late morning.
Her adoption story and the last few days have been a testimony to his unending grace and love for all of us. We want to share this story with everyone in the coming days, but as you might guess, we are a little overwhelmed at the moment. Thus, I will write more very soon as well as send pictures.
She is perfect and we are falling in love with her more and more each minute. For now, we will close with expressing our sincere thanks for all your prayers, encouragement and love throughout this long journey. The journey is not over, but we know GOD is in control and will take care of the remaining logistics and steps to finalization. Julia has been placed with us and we are so thankful and grateful to be her parents.
We love you all dearly! Can't wait for you to meet our daughter.
Love,
Malcolm, Christy and Julia

Congratulations Christy & Malcolm!! You have waited so long for her arrival. In the same way that the pain of childbirth fades soon after the miraculous arrival of the baby, so will the pain and disappointment that you both have endured throughout your journey. Soon your life without her will be hard to remember. Enjoy every precious moment (even the ones at 4:00am) for they go by far too fast!!
