You were born in the Year of the Snake (same as Mommy and Daddy). People born during the Year of the Snake are kind, vibrant, intelligent, wise, introspective and refined.
You share your birthday with:
Eli Mattson, Laura W. Bush, Will Rogers, Walter Cronkite, and Matthew McConaughey
In the US Astrology Calendar, you are a Scorpio (just like Mommy). Scorpios are loyal, passionate, resourceful, observant, and dynamic.
You were born on a Sunday which means your Thai birthday color is Red. Buddha image for Sunday: Pang Tawai Natra, restraint. Sunday Character: respectable, carefree, wise, and beloved by both friends and relatives. Very lucky day/color : Wednesday / Green (Mommy's favorite color).
On this date, W.A. Mozart's Symphony No. 36 received its première performance in Linz, Austria in 1783. Mommy is listening to it right now!
Happy 8th Birthday! We hope you enjoy the gifts you should be receiving from us today and know that you are loved from around the world!!!

Hello all family and friends!
With great excitement, we started our adoption journey in August 2008. We are now first time parents through adoption of an 8-year-old son from Thailand. We have chosen to build our family through the adoption of a son from Thailand because this is where we feel God is leading us right now.
It took 1 year and 9 months to bring Ray home and it was totally worth it!
We appreciate all of your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Why are we adopting internationally and not domestically?
While we think adopting domestically is extremely important, our hearts are drawn to the waiting children in other countries. Some of our closest friends and relatives have adopted, are adopted themselves, or are planning to adopt internationally. This has been a wonderful experience for them, as I am confident our adoption will be for us.
Why are we adopting from Thailand?
The number one reason is simply...that's where our son is living right now. Also, the Thai people are extremely laid back and friendly and the adoption process is very straight forward in Thailand and has been around for decades so there should be no surprises or corruption. After researching our other options, the requirements to adopt from Thailand fit our requirements. If we decide to adopt again, we will reevaluate the different countries and domestic programs.

Happy Birthday, Ray!! Next years will be with Mommy and Daddy and it will be awesome!! I love the info you found out about his day! Awesome!
Blessings~
Happy Birthday to Ray! I was noticing your timeline. We got our daughter almost exactly two years after we first applied. So, if that ends up being your case, then you should be in Thailand in about eight months. That seems like forever when you're waiting. But, after you get your child the time seems to whiz by. I can't believe that we've been home for 10 months. And she has grown so much in that time. Praying for you in this wait!
