Important decision made

After months of mulling over names for our sweet baby we have come to a decision!

We love the name we've chosen and feel happy that we have the option to name our son in memory of a family member that was very dear to my parents, and loved by all who knew him.

We also like the meaning behind the name "God has heard".
Sounds about right to me...

We really know how blessed and fortunate we are to be able to expand our family through adoption again and have been waiting a long time to be able to speak the name of our second child...our son.

Our newest family member will go by the name of

Samuel Wei-Che Friedman.

Little Sammy, Sam my little man...Samuel.

Love the name Sam! As a school teacher I have total name association. One of the cutest boys that ever went through our school was named Sam! Good choice.

Samuel ~ That's a great name! I think it's wonderful that you can include a family member that was so close and loved. It just shows how much they meant to you and just how much your son, Samuel, means to you. Lots of love there!

Can't wait to see Samuel smiling at you when you talk to him!!
Congrats on your decision!
