A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark.
The paper of my daughter's life so far is probably worn, and could be ripped in a few places. Life in a chinese orphanage can be rough. I hope and pray that there is someone there with her leaving a beautiful mark on her paper. Every person that donates to help us bring our daughter home is leaving a beautiful mark on her paper. Every person who prays for her and us on this journey is leaving a beautiful mark on her paper. I love her already, and it is very hard to know that she is across the world. It is hard not knowing her living conditions, her health, even the simple things like her favorite color. We have a lot to do on this end before we travel, and my biggest fear is not raising enough money to go get her. Please search your heart and pray. Make a beautiful mark on her paper, and help us bring our daughter home.

FAQ's about our adoption!
1. Why do we want to adopt? Simply- we want to expand our family. We want a daughter. We want to save a child.
2. Why international? Mainly because orphans in other countries are not in foster homes with access to medical care like here in America.
3. Why China? Several reasons. China has a very stable adoption program. China has a lot of orphans. The travel requirements to China are not as long as they are to some other countries. We have ties to people who have Asian heritages- so our daughter will know people with her same heritage. It is such a blessing to live in a multicultural area!
4. Why an older child? We knew that we would have to keep Noah as our oldest, but Aiden will not care about adding an older sibling. There is a greater need for older child adoptions.
5. What will you name her? We have a list going!! We are taking suggestions. We will wait to name her until we know her age and her Chinese name because we may use it somehow.
Let me know any other questions- and I will do my best to answer them!! Name suggestions and adoption advice is welcome!!!

We are adding another Miracle!!!
We are happy to announce that we are adopting a daughter from china!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She will probably be between Noah and Aiden's ages.
We are early in the process- and we will be sharing a lot. It will take about a year. We will also be doing some fundraising to pay the adoption expenses- so stay tuned. We are trying not to go into debt for this- and feel like everyone who helps will play a part in getting our daughter home. What an amazing blessing- to help an orphan home.
We are planning to adopt off of the waiting child list for china.
We are so excited, and can't wait to find her, meet her, and bring her home!!!!!!!
