Collier Is Here To Stay--Birth Mom Waiting Period Ends

Praise God! We are thrilled to tell you that Collier is now a permanent part of the Rhodes household! The 10-day waiting period ended at 4:30pm TODAY! Robbie and I had a private celebration here at home...I cooked dinner, make a yummy dessert and we just praised God! Collier woke up towards the end...he too was ready to eat and wanted to join in the praise!

Our court date to finalize the adoption is schedule for Thursday, June 7 at 2:30pm. It will be an awesome time as we legalize our adoption!

Please join us in giving thanks to our God from whom all blessing flow!

Hey Rhodes Family, we are just delighted with the joyful news of the arrival of your beautiful son. God is so amazing. In HIs perfect time,He chose this little one to be yours and chose you to be his Godly parents. God will honor your faithfulness to Him as you share your deep faith with little Collier. He will grow up absolutely knowing that Jesus loves him and that you two love him beyond measure. We praise the Lord with you. Question, do Collier and Russ share the same hair stylist...looks like it to us.
Love Kay and Ed
