Our family is growing again!

Yup, it's time to do something about the blog name, 'cause we are becoming a family of 9. We have embarked on a new adoption journey, to a waiting child in China.  She is 8 years old and waiting for us in Guangdong Province.  We have been paperchasing since early January and hope to have our dossier to China soon soon soon.  Then we wait.  For approvals (both USCIS and China) and then finally we travel to bring her home.  Most likely that will happen in late summer or early Fall.

We feel blessed to have been chosen again to be the family for another precious child of God.  We can't wait to introduce her to you, our family and friends! 

Adoption

Adoption has been on our hearts a lot lately.   ALL of our six children mean the world to us.  It is the joy that we find in 'being family' that calls us to open our hearts and lives to children through adoption.  Amy Eldridge, Executive Director of Love Without Boundaries, has written a particularly moving article about older child adoption here  http://www.lwbcommunity.org/on-my-own.

 I hope you'll take the time to hop on over the the Love Without Boundaries blog and read about it.  (And then watch for some exciting news here in the next few days.... you'll see a hint over there on the sidebar...)
