From Aunt Karen

Charlie, this was an email sent by your Aunt Karen. Thought it was worth repeating!

By now you've probably heard that Julie and Charles are the proud parents of a newborn adopted son. The latest news is they have named Charles Jackson Crump. When I spoke with Julie (around noon) she said they took numerous pictures yesterday in the nursery and she and Charles lay in bed last night 'oohing and aahing' over his images. They were on their way back to the hospital to bathe and feed him before his discharge to their care and then heading to the adoption agency to pick up temporary custody papers. As soon as pictures are available to share we will. She planned to send some when they get settled back in their extended stay hotel room where she has already set up nursery until the final decree of adoption papers are received hopefully by Saturday. The exclamations that Julie has shared, with everyone I've compared notes with, have been over his full head of sandy red hair, big, dark blue eyes and, in her words, 'big-ass feet.' I remarked, he must have been born of a tall man and she said the purported father was only 5',71/2' (hazel eyes, dark hair) but his birthmother is 5'11' (strawberry blonde, blue-eyes). While the birthmother is unknown to us and on paper please join us in asking God's blessings upon her... She can be happy that despite bad choices she may have made, she did something good and selfless in her life by making an adoption plan. And what awesome parents Julie and Charles are! Thanks be to God. Angels come in all forms. No doubt Charles Jackson will be blessed with an abundance of love. Congratulations Julie & Charles!

I forgot to mention Julie said he's precious, which later became, "he's gorgeous."
