Birth of our son

**Steve.r** · 22nd January 2012

I didn't make it public before, but I would like to let everyone know about the birth of our son Vincent.
He was born on the 18th November 2011.
I was due to fly to Phils in the 13th Dec but when there were complications I changed my flights to be with my wife. I was not able to be there on the day, but Vincent decided to arrive 6 weeks early. He was 2.1kg at birth and kept in an incubator for a few weeks. My wife recovered well after I arrived and I was able to look after them both in those special few weeks after the birth.

I have just returned from Phils after 2 months and it has not been easy to leave them. Our son is beautiful and my wife is a wonderful mother.

I would like to thank everyone who sent their best wishes to us over the period that I was away and over Christmas and New Year, you know who you are and we really appreciated your kind thoughts.

For me, as a Moderator on this great forum, I just wanted to share our happiness with everyone. Just remember that all things are possible, and when you meet the right person miracles can happen. Never give up on your dreams.

I hope you enjoy the photos below

Which one is the baby in the last pic?

Congratulation Steve and Charie, welcome Vincent

I know who you are feeling now, I had to leave our son when he was 3 weeks old, we were reunited when we got their visa and passport and they came to the UK when he was 6 months old.

Funny you say that Graham, everyone we met when we were out kept saying 'oh he is a xerox copy' made me laugh. To be honest, you really wouldn't know he was 50% Filipna, but he is and I am so proud of that.

**grahamw48** · 22nd January 2012

Well, thank goodness mother and baby are both in good health. That's the main thing isn't it.

My boy struck lucky and took after his mother.

**Moy** · 22nd January 2012

To be honest, you really wouldn't know he was 50% Filipna,

theyll know he is 50% filipino when they see the mother

well done and congratulation to you both!

Well said Steve, I enjoyed the photos, and it was great to meet Charie last November - only 2 weeks before Vincent " arrived "

. Welcome back to UK ( even if you would rather still be in Phils )

Congratulations Steve and Charie on the birth of your very handsome baby boy, he looks so cute!

I sincerely hope that you will all be together again very soon

**Arthur Little** · 23rd January 2012

Steve ...

for sharing your joyful news "publicly". I'd been aware of your plans to return sometime around the 17th ... and consequently re-opened a previous thread of mine that I had posted around the time you came back last September following the visit with your parents.

However, it seems I may have been a day or two premature in my *latest enthusiastic welcome

- without properly taking into account the journey times involved - hence *it has probably escaped your notice on this occasion.

So ... just in case you missed it ... I would like to say how delighted

I am to see you back again, my friend ... although - to echo Rosie's sentiments - we ALL hope you, Charie and baby Vincent will be together again very soon. God speed!
