Our best Christmas ever...
On Tuesday, December 14th, the day we had been waiting on for 18 long months finally arrived! We drove up to Gladney in Ft. Worth and picked up our baby girl, who we named Madelynn Claire. She was born on November 10th in Dallas, and was 5 pounds 10 ounces and 19 inches. We fell in love with her from the start!
We decided to keep the news a secret and surprise our families with her in person for Christmas! Although they couldn't believe we kept it a secret from them (it wasn't easy), they all agreed she was the best Christmas surprise. We won't ever be able to pull anything like that off again!

Support Team Bilger in the Chosen: Marathon for Adoption
Chosen: Marathon For Adoption
Thanks to a collaborative effort between ABBA Fund, Bethesda Family Ministries & Charis Orphan Care & Adoption Ministry, a marathon to benefit adopting families will be held in New Braunfels, TX, on Saturday, October 23rd. To learn more about the race, visit: www.marathonforadoption.com .
ALL proceeds from the race, both from runner registrations and donations, will go to help orphans around the world and adoptive families offset the cost of adoption.
Here’s the best part…We have applied and been chosen to benefit from this race as an adoptive family!
Even better…Neal’s running the ½ marathon on behalf of Team Bilger!
