Last Camera Standing

Of the three disposable cameras we sent to St. Lucy's Center in William's care packages, only one came back with usable pictures. Thankfully, the photographer(s) turned on the flash for most of the photos. There are about 8 more pictures that I didn't include in the slideshow below since they include images of other children.

My best guess is that these pictures were taken some time in January 2008, roughly around the time that William likely switched from the infant nursery to the older baby facility. You can see that he moves from a large, white crib to a beige-colored crib. You can also see some of the items we sent him in one of his care packages, conspicuously displayed for his eager parents, no doubt.


We're thankful that the caretakers took the time out of their busy jobs to snap these photos for us. While we would have loved to have gone 3 for 3 with the disposable cameras, we're thrilled to have whatever we can get from this period of his life in which we were apart.

I'm glad you got some pictures, Judy!! Any glimpse into their life before homecoming is precious. What wonderful additions to his lifebook those pictures will be!! (The one of him crying in his crib made me laugh... we all need at least one of those!!!)

Craig/Judy!

I received the announcement along w/William's 2 pictures in the mail...then went to check out the blog. Awesome blog! He's very cute!:-) Congratulations!!! This is wonderful what you two have done! What a privelege it must be to take this child out of his situation and adopt him as your very own child, much in the same way that God has taken us out of our otherwise hopeless situations and adopted us as His very own through/in Christ! Looking forward to seeing him in person :)
