Joshua!

It's been seven weeks now, and we are really enjoying life as a 4 person family. Joshua is an amazing baby - he's smiling and cooing and doing all those things that make you say, "awww, what a cute baby." Best of all, he is sleeping through the night (don't be jealous). Noah loves his new brother, too. He's even pretty gentle around him. . .well, as gentle as an almost 4 year old can be :) Here's his birth announcement.

Melissa, Seth, Noah and. . .Yes, A New Baby!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us throughout our journey to create our family. As you may know, we appeared on Anderson Cooper's Day Time talk show in April, 2012. After the show aired, we received one phone call from the mother of an individual who was pregnant. Melissa spoke to the mother (referred to as grandmother throughout the rest of this story) and the birth mother for four months creating a great and personal relationship. About a month ago, we met the birth mother, birth father, grandmother and other family members. The visit was great and we all got along really well. I am happy to report that on August 28, 2012, a baby boy was born and on August 30, 2012 the paperwork was signed and our 3 person family officially became a 4 person family. We know that this was meant to be and are looking forward to a life filled with the laughter of two boys.

Again, thank you all for your support.

Thank you Bella Magazine

Thanks to Bella Magazine for the great article about us. And yes, Bella is a magazine out of the UK! We spoke to several nice writers who were very interested in our story and were more than happy to share the fact that we're looking for a sibling for Noah.

Thank You Anderson Cooper!

We had a great time taping Anderson Cooper's Show "Anderson" that aired on 4/11/2012. We really appreciate the opportunity to share our story and to let people know that we are still looking for the perfect match to complete our family. We can't wait and neither can Noah.

The Anderson Show also posted a couple of clips on YouTube!

Leap Day!

I thought I'd take a moment to say hello on Leap Day since this opportunity only comes around every four years. Thank you to those of you who have sent positive comments to us after reading our story on AOL.com, one of the various other sites that picked up our story, and of course, seeing the piece on Good Morning America. The CBN even re-purposed the piece for an online video. Click Here for the Video.

We are hopeful that our journey to find a brother or sister for Noah will end soon as we are actively looking.

Thank You Good Morning America for A Great Piece

Still Waiting for News from Good Morning America!

We're still waiting to find out when Good Morning America will run our spot. In the meantime, attached is the latest version of our adoption flyer. You're more than welcome to pass it along :)

Thank you Good Morning America!

We had a wonderful experience with the Good Morning America crew on Sunday 1/22/2012. Everyone showed up on time, were efficient, and great to work with. We were especially excited to meet Bianna Golodryga, who flew down from New York to interview us. It was a whirlwind experience from first being contacted by GMA two weeks ago to having a crew in our house! Thanks to Parenting Magazine for helping us spread the word that we are looking for a sibling for Noah! We're hoping Noah finds a sibling through this great source of getting the word out!
