Congratulations on y’all’s baby boy!! I am an adoptee from Vietnam, and it always makes me so happy to see others blessed by adoption. I was adopted at 21 months. My mom is a Christian author and had a national ministry that allowed us to travel all over the U.S. as a family. I will cherish those memories I made with my parents forever. I know that Baby Theo will have amazing memories of touring with your family. Adoption is such a tough, but beautiful thing for both the parents and child. I will continuously pray for you, Michael, and Theo as you enter this new journey as a family! ❤️

Courtney and Mike, I just had to send you another note to tell you both that I’m thinking of you as you wait out your 2 weeks quarantine in the hotel. I had covid myself and the time went by quickly as I did a lot of sleeping and watching a little tv. I think if I were you both (not having covid) I’d be climbing the walls being stuck in a hotel room for that long. I hope you have plenty of games and things to do to occupy yourselves while in quarantine. But I imagine the anticipation and excitement is really building up to when you two can unite with your precious little boy! Please keep us updated along the way. ❤️
