IT'S A BOY!!!

Ryan and I had a wonderful reason to celebrate last night... we accepted the referral for a 10 month old boy! So, we'd like to announce that a little brown haired & brown eyed boy will be our son! His name is Korbin Ryan Burke and he was born late August '06. He has 4 teeth and a beautiful smile! :D

We will be contacted soon about travel plans. Ryan and I will make a quick trip to Russia (same place I went 3 weeks ago) to meet Korbin. We will return, to Russia, a few weeks later with a court date to make him officially ours!

Thought we'd share the awesome news!

We will share photos and more information after we meet him!

Thanks for everyone's support and excitement!

Now... if only I can get some sleep during the next few weeks...

Congratulations!
Ryan seems remarkably calm for someone who has to travel 1/2 way around to world to a country where he can't read the text!
Good luck on the journey!
