The Lord Has Blessed Us With A Son!


We are very excited to introduce to you the newest member of the Stout family, Avery Emerson Stout.

He's a healthy, happy, entergetic 3 1/2 year old who is full of life!!

We are so thrilled to have finally found this little bundle of joy that we've been waiting for!

The actual adoption process will take approx. 1 month to complete & we look forward to returning home as a family of 4.

Avery lives in an orphanage called a baby house where there are many young children. We are permitted to visit with him 2 times a day: from 9:45 -11:30 in the morning & then again from 4:00 - 5:30 in the afternoon.

Every time we walk in he comes running from wherever he is with a big smile & his arms open wide yelling "Mama, Mama".

He seemed to take to us right away & is very possesive of us to the other children. In his little Ukrainian voice he makes it clear to the other children that we are his family. He tells them "My Mama, My Papa, My Sistrichca (Sister)"

We are so thankful that our prayers have been answered. God is so good!
