a.k.a. Things we never knew to ask for...that the Lord gave us anyway!!
1. The orphanage report at 3 months of age says Jack loves music!
2. Jack is born in the same city where Linda's brother & his family live
3. We receive multiple updated medical / health reports even though the orphanage typically does not release additional information.
4. Jack is moved to foster care at a very young age.
5. The foster family update describes Jack as "long and skinny" compared to other Chinese babies. (He'll fit right in with our kids!!)
6. Jack's birthday is a perfect match for the rest of the family. Emerson's birthday is July 23. Cole's birthday is exactly one week after Emerson's. Jack's birthday is exactly one week after Cole's.

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
Deuteronomy 6:6-8 These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
