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…
Here We Go!!!
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…
Evangeline
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…
Matching Grant
It seems like only yesterday that we saw the sweet faces of our newest daughters, their innocent smiles and timid expressions forever captured on a few photographs and videos for all the world to see. We were so drawn by the girl’s precious knowing eyes, so full of memories and stories of which we have […] Read more…
Various and Sundry Things
The last few days and weeks before we travel have passed so quickly. There is so much to do to get ready for the girls and so much to do to keep up with our big family. I have had so much to blog about, but haven’t been able to find a few quiet minutes […] Read more…

She wrote these words…

Why China?
I began this blog for God’s glory.
It was my intention for it to be a place where I could use the talents God has given me for His glory. I have chosen to be transparent on its pages for one purpose only, and that is to share how God can work miracles amidst […] Read more…
Big Questions
We talked on the phone last night with our agency about what to expect from here to travel. Wow. We are getting close!
Breathe.
When we began this journey, I knew in the deepest part of myself that it would be God who brings these girls home, and that we would only be His hands […] Read more…
Hearts Overflowing
On Saturday, we packed up some of the kids and went on a mission…to Build A Bear.
We’re still working on our care packages, and wanted to record a message for each of the girls. Build A Bear has a little recorder that can be placed inside your bear’s paw. When the button is pushed, your […] Read more…
