She's fighting a cold and slight fever so please keep that in your prayers. She is sweet. Tall and thin, loves to sing and dance; really liked Tyler (O-pa - big brother). She loved looking at all of the pictures of her other brother and sisters too. I can't wait for them all to meet her! We'll write more later (pretty tired right now) but I'll let you know quickly that we met with Malea's foster mother who is so sweet. Then we all went over to Eun Bi's foster mother's home and had an amazing visit with them. Two other foster moms came over too with their babes to meet us. These women are unbelievable. They love these babies so much.
We love you all and can't wait for you to meet our precious baby! We'll detail more about this day tomorrow. Time to call our precious kids at home and head to bed with sweet dreams of our new babe!! Enjoy the pics!

Praise you God!!! Praise You!!! You amaze us!
What a BEAUTY!!!!!! All that hair, maybe more than big sister. She is so much a Shaw. Crazy!! She just "fits". Reminds me a lot of Malea, especialy her sad face. Doesn't look like she likes the crib. :) Looks like she was even "entertaining" you. Tyler, looks like you have a side kick. Cannot wait to hear more about her. Know that you are exhausted. Praying for some great sleep! Thanks for the blessing of joining you in this incredible journey.
Most of all thank you to our GREAT GOD!!

WHAT A DOLL BABY!!! oh so beautiful. loved loved loved seeing all of you with her. a perfect fit!! how i wish i could hear little malea's voice as she sees these images. her little sister...who would've ever imagined this love story?
i love little laynie already, and it is clear she has been well loved with her beautiful foster family and has already experienced a glimpse of the love her forever family has for her.
we will be praying for her health, and yours.
barton, do we need to be worrying about you at all? i didn't know if that picture of you holding up "two" fingers was significant in more than one way. :)

Shaw family,
We have been out of town but got to our emails in time to pray for ya'll last night. What a great joy to pray for your first meeting! She is so precious-this whole story so amazes us. God is always moving and interceding in our lives. What a blessing for Malea- that He would hand pick you to bring Laynie home is such a testimony of His goodness and perfect plan.
We could not be happier for you. You all look so happy and at ease with each other. What a wonderful gift. What a beautiful family. What a wonderful God!
Shaws,
She is adorable!!!She reminds me a lot of Malea. I will be praying that God would heal her completely.
Can't wait to meet Baby Laynie

Good Morning Shaw's-
Hope you are all sleeping as I'm writing this! What a beautiful little girl!! Our God is so good in how He has orchestrated all of this so perfectly for your family.
I didn't get your email in time to pray last night, but you will love this- after we went to bed I got a coughing spell out of no where and couldn't sleep. God kept bringing all of you to mind so I just started praying. When I read your email I just started bawling- how much God cares for our needs!
Love you and can't wait to see more pictures of your darling Laynie!!

God is so incredibly good!!! The moment you have been waiting for has finally arrived! Oh she is beautiful! She especially looks like Malea in the one where you see the cover of the "who loves baby" book and the one where she is standing with Tyler holding her. We are praying for her cold and fever. We will be floating high all day as we rejoice over this precious day God has given your family!
Love you all! - Sherry :)
Hello Shaws!!

She fits right in with your family and you can totally tell she is Malea's sister. They are both so precious! :)

HALLELUJAH!!!!!! She is a miracle!! I am so glad that she warmed up to you three. I am so thankful that she had a great foster family. God had her in his mighty hands before we even knew she existed!! PTL!!! Looks like she has some spunk--just like her big sis Malea. Love it!! We are so excited for you all!! Love you ALL.
What a fun day we had imagining you getting to experience what you did with your precious baby. She is such a doll, what a gift you have been given.
Just wanted you to know Brooklyn did wonderful tonight. The girls played and danced hard and long outside and ended with doing s'mores on the fire. Honestly, she went to bed perfectly. I think she is really proud of herself that she is doing so well. Another big praise for you. Look how our gracious Lord is seeing you thru every detail. She has been a delight. Kaley thinks she is sooo grown up.
Will continue to pray you thru every day. Much love, LIsa and the gang
Hi Friends! Sorry we haven't written until now, but we have been out of town. We just got to see the pictures of your new baby and she is absolutely beautiful!! We think she looks like Malea and definitely a Shaw. We can't wait to hear more about her. We love you all! Praise Jesus!!!
Love,
