Eph. 1:4,5 (The Message)

Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ.

Welcome!

Welcome!  Our family invites you to journey with us on this next stretch of our adoption story to bring home our precious Lily.  We began this journey about six years ago as we moved forward in faith to bring home a little sister and daughter.  Many prayers and a giant file box of paperwork later we are now busting with joy and oh so eager to meet her and love on her.

Lily first captured our hearts on Aug 25, 2011 when her photos and referral landed in our email.  The past month has been filled with filing requests for approval to adopt, waiting for China's green light, and more paperwork that pushes us ever closer to bringing Lily home!  The paperwork is now finished. We will apply for our visas, and wait, wait, wait some more for it all to be processed before receiving our approval to travel.
