Dear Friends and Family,
For those of you who don't know, Kaili (the little girl we were adopting) was offically taken back by her birth mother two weeks before we were going to get her . It was hard but we have felt peace through it thanks to everyones' prayers!
Anyway, the orphanage said that it would be a miracle for us to get Kaili back so Matt started praying for a Miracle :). And although it wasn't getting Kaili back, God has brought us a miracle in the form of a new baby! The orphanage said that usually the wait is much longer but their just happened to be a one month old baby girl in the orphanage that had not been given to anyone. It was scary saying yes, and we had so many emotions of sadness and joy at the same time but we did say yes!
We named her Mira Joy McCloskey.
Mira was born at 7:18 on March 25.
She was 8 lbs 4 oz (A Whopper according to the orphanage staff :)) and 20 inches long.
All we know about her so far is that she is quiet and cuddly.
We have had to complete the paperwork again and submit it to the courts but we are hoping to get her by the end of the summer. Please, please pray for us during this process...we are a little scared after what happened last time but we know God is GOOD!!
With Love,
Matt and Charissa McCloskey

First day at Orphanage (only a few days old)
We LOVE her Hair!!
I wanted to cry when I saw you had a new post on Kaili's blog and that you had started a new blog. I just KNEW it meant there was another possible baby on the way. I am so excited again for you guys. Everytime I thought about it I felt kinda guilty for being able to hold my newborn while you didn't get to.
ReplyDeletePraying that Mira is in your arms before you know it! Love love love her middle name...She has the same one as Hannah! They are about 1 month apart in age, but Mira was born bigger than Hannah is at 4 weeks :o)
THANK YOU for letting us be a part of this journey with you and letting us know how to pray.
I am so delighted for you. I'll be praying all the way.
