Introducing Leila Madeline

We are delighted to announce that Leila Madeline was born this morning at 4:48am, weighing 6 lbs. 14 oz. and measuring 20 inches. She is a beautiful and healthy little angel, and we couldn't be happier to welcome her into our family. God willing, she will come home to us Wednesday morning. We praise God for this little miracle and pray that He will continue to bless the adoption process!

Ramona, Wade, and Liliana-
Congratulations! I look forward to meeting this little one. You guys are glowing! Leila was born on my brother's birthday, so it will be easy for me to remember it. :) I'm sure you all are thrilled - that's probably an understatement. I know Liliana will be a great big sister. Rest up now!

Congratulations! She's adorable! We can't wait to meet her. She was born on my twin brothers' birthday, and we always called them our little fire crackers! Hopefully she won't be as full of naughtiness like they are. HA!

We're praying that all goes smoothly!
Much love,
The Records
Mark, Shelly, Lucas and Madelyn

It's almost surreal to watch this video, you guys. Next to it on the screen were your statistics of trying to conceive, and I just thought of the verse "I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord...". May your days be joyous, your nights quiet, and your hearts full of love as you parent these precious girls to be His. You are so loved! Leigh Ann and Brian

Thanks for sharing the picture and video. Your joy is so evident, and we pray that the Lord will make this adoption process smooth and have Leila be really and truly your covenant child. She is so blessed to have you in her young life!
With love and prayers,
Mark and Rachel

It's always hard to put into words what one adopted child sees and thinks when he sees the beginning of his life in the life of another. It's almost a little surreal, but a true joy to know that another will always know the true gift and blessing of adoption in such a tangible way. I am so happy for you, and will be praying for all of you that God guides you all through this process quickly and smoothly. I praise Him for using your experience to remind me of my blessings.
