Zurich Abraham Marshall
by Aaron Marshall on November 17, 2011
With great pleasure we would like to introduce all of you to the newest member of the Marshall family, Zurich Abraham Marshall!!! We passed court today, which means we are officially his, and he is officially ours!
Holding him for the first time.
This was right after they handed him to Nichole. He snuggled immediately. I got overwhelmed had to stop taking pictures because it reminded me of
when Nichole was holding Figi under her neck in the same way. Two of the sweetest moments of my life.
This was his bed at the orphanage. There is a room full of people and a TV on to the left of this picture.
His birth certificate.
His very first picture after he was found. Close to 1 month old here.
This is where he was found.
These were some flowers that were growing from the bush he was beside.
In case you were wondering, Nichole is still in Ethiopia with him now. We are now waiting to be submitted to the US Embassy and cleared to bring him back to the states. Only 4-8 weeks to go!

Cried while looking at these. He has eyes to melt anyone’s heart! I especially love the pics of you all sharing moments with him. Adoption is such a beautiful picture of so many amazing Godly attributes. So excited for you all!!!
I love him!!! How perfect! I really have to stop reading your posts when I am at work – too many tears!
Couldn’t be more happy for you and Aaron! Thank you so much for sharing your entire journey. Following you and your husband through the excitement, frustration and joy has been an inspiration. Much love to you both!
He is beautiful!!! So happy for you both!!!
So amazing. A beautiful picture of Gods grace and how he found us in a less than perfect place sand brought us into his inheritance and family by nothing we have done. Thanks for sharing!
I am so happy for all of you! He is a beautiful beautiful child and he is a very lucky and blessed baby to have such loving and caring parents. God’s blessings to each of you always!~
Congratulations! Great pictures! He is such a beautiful little boy!
How stinkin’ cute is he?!?! You’re smart to take pictures of little things like his crib and the place where he was found. As an adoptive sister, I can say that as the kids grow they want to know soooo much about their story. Good for you.
He is adorable and one lucky little boy! Wish you all the best. Gloria
I literally cried when I looked at this pictures. Actually I still am. I couldnt be happier for all of you. He is beautiful and you are both even more beautiful with him

Cyndi

Words can’t even express this moment! What an amazing blessing for this little boy and for you as parents. This is such a precious moment and God is good! He hears the our cries and comforts us… These moments captured in pictures are sooooo beautiful that I have tears welling up in my eyes…. beautiful… beautiful… beautiful picture of God’s love! Congrats!
I am overjoyed for you guys! What beautiful pictures of the Marshall Family! It is wonderful to see the love coming through these photos! God is great!
Oh how my heart rejoices to see these pictures and the joy God has given you and your sweet son. May he grow up to be a Missionary in the very land that the enemy sought to destroy him…..BUT GOD
Well all I can say is that I cry everytime I look at these pictures. Words cannot even explain how over joyed I am for you guys. Cant wait to meet him and love on him.
I don’t know you. I know nothing about your story. What I do know is that I am in tears after accidentally stumbling onto this page from a friend of a friend’s FB page, and I am sitting here as thrilled for you as I would be for my dearest, oldest friend. Enjoy your new life and enjoy that amazing little boy of yours. I may not know you, but my joy for your family is completely authentic.
Praise God! So good to hear that you all have passed court! Zurich is beautiful and looks like such a sweet boy, he is definitely bringing out the best in both of you from the looks of these pictures. I have a feeling he will be a skilled sleeper! Can’t wait to give him hugs!
Wow. Love, faith and perseverance have made your journey worthwhile. Nichole honey, he just fits so perfectly. I can only imagine the emotions you’re all experiencing. Zurich is both blessed and a blessing. The girls send their love to the family. Can’t wait to see the family’s first xmas pics together.
Wow – what a doll face! I am so happy for you guys. I tried contributing with paypal but it didn’t go through, I will try again. Congratulations!
SOOOOOOOOOO excited for you guys – what great pictures!!! Praying for you three and all the emotions that you are going through right now.
Love you guys!!
Zurich is so lucky! Your journey has taught me, as a parent, to treasure each moment! Every Child deserves to be Loved!
Thank you!
We are so thrilled for you three! It has not been an easy journey, we know, but the rewards are endless. Congratulations!!
