Gideon's Date of Birth

May 7, 2008, Gideon Markos Terwilleger was welcomed into the world by the Lord and at least his biological mother.
For those of you who don't know, oftentimes it's very difficult to set the date of actual birth for an adopted child. Many times families will set the birthday at the "Gotcha Day" (when the child was united with their new/forever family).
Kathee and I got word today from the director of the transition home that his official birthdate is May 7, 2008.
And I was just reminded by my mother that she (and Dad) now have three grandkids with birthdays in May. Otto was born 5/16/06. Miriam was born on 5/10/07. And now Gideon on 5/7/08.
We are celebrating that we will be able to tell Gideon, and he will be able to know with certainty, that he was born on May 7, 2008.
God is good!
