Who remembers the classic Geico commercial "wehadababyitsaboy"?! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JxhTnWrKYs) Well that's our news to share, too!!!

We have been matched with a 3-month old baby boy, Mathias, in Colombia!!! 

Our hope and prayer (please join us in this prayer) is that we will get all his travel documents needed so we can go get him in November...otherwise we'll have to wait until January since the courts all close in Colombia for the month of December.

The kids are excited and so are we - "Cinco" no more...it's such a blessing to be able to pray for our son by name, now...Mathias.

He was given his first name by his birth mother, and we are keeping it. But we will change his middle name to match that of his God Father, Christa’s brother, Caleb. Mathias Andrew Lewis, we cant wait to meet you!

Thanks to your generosity, we haven't had to worry about adoption expenses so far, and even had some extra to pay for a private nurse for Mathias until we can get him (he has some health challenges). But now we have the last set of expenses coming up, and they're not trivial. We have about $1,500 for flights, $5,000 in lawyer fees while we're in-country, and $4,000 in lodging/meals/incidentals for the three weeks we expect to be in-country. 

If you feel compelled to give again, or if this is your first time seeing this, please know that we have zero expectations of such gifts, but are completely grateful if you're able to help again. I mean this with all honesty - the biggest help you can give right now is prayers for his travel documents to come through quickly!!!
