Our First Adoption Story--A New Little Baby to Love


David Samuel Sponseller arrived in this big world, weighing in at 8 lb, 3 oz and measured 20 1/2 inches. We were able to miracoulously arrive in time for his delivery, an opportunity for which we will forever be grateful. He eats like a champ and doesn't cry unless he has reason. He is perfect.

Our hearts are full for not only this new little life in our family, but also for the angel birth mother that delivered him safely to our arms. We couldn't have asked for a sweeter experience over the last few days as we have spent time with her and her family. Over the next few days, we will post more pictures and story about the amazing experience we have had as an adoptive couple.

So exciting! We couldn't be more thrilled for you -- Thank you Angel Birth Mother for letting these fine parents have your sweet baby. You must be something amazing yourself. I'm with Tanya -- I can't wait to hear more details but will patiently wait until you are ready and more settled. Good luck to you ALL!

Such a precious "little" guy! It amazes me what different sizes and shapes God's blessings come in! Maryjayne just hit 20 1/2 inches and is a little over 9 lbs at 12 weeks! I love his chubby cheeks! Maybe yall should have gone with Goliath, instead of David? :)
