Details about Olivia Ruth Roten


Well, God is amazing!!! Yesterday Michael received a call from our adoption agency and we were chosen to be the parents of a sweet little girl!!! She was born February 27th, 2009 and weighed 7lbs, 3oz.. Olivia is very healthy and quite the good eater I'm told. WE ARE THRILLED!! We were beyond blessed with the outpouring of baby items for Celeste that we are set with all our cute pink "girly" things, so Michael and I would like to present a "gift alternative". We are asking our friends and family to consider making a donation in our name (write it on the memo line of a check or ear-mark it for Michael and Emily Roten) to Amazing Grace Adoptions, www.agadoptions.org this would go towards our current adoption cost. Although if you have an item already picked out or just can't resist getting something for Olivia then that is wonderful we are, as always, humbled by the generosity of our friends and family. Thank you for sharing in our joy!!! Look for pictures soon!!!

That's exactly what I was going to ask you, I was wondering if it was possible to do something like that....
Looking forward to meeting her!

Congratulations!!! Just sent off your 'gift' to AGA. Believe me, I know what 'adoption costs' can be. Wishes of joy and sleep to all three of you.
