Well Friday evening of last week we got called with news of our baby boy. Meet Dylan Matthew Odmark. He was born on June 1st and weighed in at 8lbs 2 ozs and 20 and a half inches long. We literally got the call at 8pm on Friday and by one o'clock on saturday we were on our way to Atlanta to meet him. He is truly more beautiful and perfect than we deserve. And God has been so kind to us by using all the things that seemed so hard and sad to us along the way as a part of the story of bringing Dylan home.
Everything from using answers to questions that another birth mother had sent as part of the reason why Dylan's birth mom chose us, to having us ready to go at the drop of a hat because of the little girl in Indianapolis that we thought was ours. She was due on the 15th of June and we got the call about Dylan on the 15th. Can you believe God?
Well anyway the story is too good and we certainly don't deserve to be getting to do what we are doing right now. Thanks for all that have offered prayers and encouraging words... I imagine we will have much to report in the near future so check back!
love-
matt and kristen and dylan
