Our new life as a family is like walking down a garden path. Beyond every bend are new sights and sounds. It is a beautiful place! Join us as we walk through life with our beautiful little girl whom we adopted from China.

What Could Have Been
Had Elizabeth not come home with us, she was set to be enrolled in the new school that Love without Boundries was establishing at her orphange. I was actually able to talk with the folks at LWB and they confirmed at Huai Dong Song was on their list. Since Huainan is a very poor orphange, this is probably one of the best things to happen for the children. They sent me this video of the children screaming, I mean singing.
This is the littel girl that we sponsor at the school. Her name is Chloe. I am not sure if the plan for her is to find a forever family but we are so happy to be able to help her get a good start in life. We would have wanted that for Elizabeth!
"I look at my daughter and usually I see a laughing, happy, healthy child. But sometimes I look at her and I see a thousand layers, a depth I will never visit, and a memory I humbly respect but cannot share. Her heart beats a thousand years story, with the blood of China, and a history in her short life more vast than mine will ever be. I owe it to her to never forget. I owe it to her to protect the fragile pieces of her story until the time comes for her to claim it. " From http://www.camimei.blogspot.com/

We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands. --- Kristi Larson
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says... "Oh shit....she's awake!!" Stop telling God how big your storm is!And instead tell your storm how BIG your God is! "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out & loudly proclaiming--WOW--WHAT A RIDE!" I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
