Musings of a mother of many
These were taken yesterday morning at breakfast with my iPhone. She is smiling and playful!
Yesterday she ate a lot! I think she has never seen so much food in her little life. Her frail stature tells the tale better than any words could have.
With Baba and Victoria!
Sisters, FOREVER. 🙂

Evangeline is doing so very well. She seems so much more relaxed today.
We have chosen to go slow with affection and to let Evangeline lead as she feels comfortable, and already she has reached out to us.
She is incredibly capable and independent. Here she is talking to the gentleman who came with her […] Read more…
We have our precious Evangeline!
We just came upstairs from dinner, and we are all going to bed, but I wanted to do a post first to tell you about our day and everything I know about our sweet Evangeline.
She is beautiful, and very frail and very tiny. She walked in ahead of the man who […] Read more…
We have arrived at our hotel in Xi’an. The hotel is very nice!
We have an hour to get ready, and then our guide will pick us up to take us to dinner at 6:00pm. We are going to a dinner theater of Chinese dancers and a dumpling buffet. Apparently, this area is known for […] Read more…
Just thought I’d give you all a little update.
We will get our TA handed to us in Guangzhou, but our agency was able to confirm our CA (Consulate Appointment) for Thursday, September 20th! This is wonderful because it means that we will be able to take our already scheduled flight home on the […] Read more…
As many of you know, we are a home schooling family. At the moment, we are in our end of summer rambunctious stage where the many long days of summer have kind of strung together, and the children are all settled into their lazy crazy summer routines.
In other words, we are all ready for […] Read more…
I am finding it so hard to believe that we are really leaving for China in THREE days!
It seems like only yesterday that I began to seriously entertain the dream to adopt.
It was two years and nine months ago when I began to purposefully pray about adoption. Our daughter Victoria had been working on […] Read more…
Karla from Lifeline just emailed us at 3:59am to say that we need to be in XI’an on the 8th!!!
We will get Evangeline on the 9th in Baoji City, and Eliza on the 13th in Guangzhou!
We are waiting to hear from the travel agent. According to our estimates, we are still […] Read more…
I looked back in my emails tonight and found a message from sweet Karla whom we have worked with almost exclusively at Lifeline. She had emailed me to say that they had found Evangeline’s file, and had asked us if we were comfortable with her somewhat severe special needs. After praying with Mark and […] Read more…
As many of you know, we fell in love with Evangeline after we were well on way to adopting Eliza, and as I have shared before, once we saw Evangeline and heard about her story, we knew that we just could not leave her behind. We began an incredible journey to bring BOTH of our […] Read more…
