IT"S A GIRL

On Wednesday we got one of the most exciting phone calls of our lifetime. We got our referral and have already sent back our acceptance paper work for a beautiful, healthy 20 month old baby girl. She is in Ethiopia, Africa. We can not take our eyes off of her pictures (we have 2 of her). Until she is legally ours we can not share pictures with you. We really wish we could but this is to protect her privacy. When we showed Ella her picture, she said, "look Momma, that girl pretty". She has amazing eyes. We can already tell so much about her just by looking into her eyes. Her little nose looks like Ty's and her ears stick out a tiny bit like Casey's.

The next few weeks will consist of us finding out our court date and then we will travel about a month after that. We are hoping this will be early next year.

Also, we wanted to let you know that we have a new fundraiser to help us with the remainder of our adoption expenses. It's an instrumental Christmas CD because it is that time of year! It would make a great gift!! You can get yours by clicking on the yellow "BUY NOW" button on the top right of this page. A portion of the proceeds will go to help with our adoption finances.

Thank you all so much for your support in every way.

Our Daughter's Song

I wanted to share the song that Ty wrote for our daughter in Africa. You can hear by going to
www.myspace.com/tyrusmorgan

"My Love Won't Walk Away" it's the 1st song-just click on it

This is an earlier post from Ty about the song...

I (Ty) wrote a song when Casey was pregnant with Ella about the potential/dreams for Ella and where her "Little Shoes" may go some day. I seem to be inspired during that "pregnancy" period whether it's biological or not and was struck by the feelings of abandonment that many orphans have at some point in their lives and how I don't want our children, any of them, to ever worry or wonder about losing mine or Casey's love and wanted to express it through music. I began writing the song and had titled it "MY LOVE WON'T WALK AWAY". I then stumbled upon Isaiah 54 in "The Message" translation of The Bible and the verse that God says, "MY LOVE WON'T WALK AWAY". I have finished this song and look forward to recording it soon to be a message to my kids and a reminder of God's love for us.

---now it's recorded!

Thanks and enjoy!
Casey
