We received a referral from Colombia on August 15, 2007 for a baby boy!!! He was born May 19 and we are naming him Joshua Danford Theis. Our travel plans are coming together quickly, and we plan to leave on September 9. We will meet Joshua on September 11 at Ayudame (the adoption home), and then the three of us will have 3 to 6 weeks together in Bogota. What fun it will be to get to know our son!! Joshua will stay with us the whole time. During our time in Bogota, we have many court appearances and paperwork appointments.
Yesterday we received our FBI clearance (yes, Chad passed again!) AND our Colombian visas. I also booked our plane tickets. It was a big day!

Joshua Danford is one blessed boy to be coming home with you! We are beyond excited for you and look forward to hearing all about your trip and meeting Joshua soon! He and Kaitlyn are only one month apart and will be great pals as they get older! With hearts full of joy for you and lots of love, too, The Hook Family
Wow! What awesome news. We couldn't be anymore thrilled for you!
As a friend said to me before we left for Ukraine (to adopt our daughters) "this has been a long long LABOR and looks like a very short PREGNANCY!" The same is true for you guys ... enjoy every minute of it!!
Ron and I are so thrilled that soon Joshua will be home and will be a part of our family. Can't wait to see the little guy and give him lots of hugs and kisses. His cousins, Jack and Sam, will show him the ropes. We have told them they need to be excellent role models, as they are his older, more mature?? cousins. Love you guys!
