LOVE IT!
OK, just saw this, and you guys are amazing!! I love how you took photos each step of the way. I wish I had done this for our kids. They are at an age now where they want to know every detail of their stories!!
Hi – I found your blog thru a harvest of blessing blog – my family is also in process to adopt -(China) – I’m excited to read your blog and may God continue to bless your journey ahead!
Thanks for stopping by! Glad to have another adoptive family along for the ride
Please feel free to share your thoughts re: adoption. I’m going to start posting more about it soon…!
Its so nice to know that you are doing this!
Hope you will get a referral soon, we are in India at the moment picking up our son
Thanks! We’re praying so too!
I hope your trip goes wonderfully–thinking of you!
Been here now for one month, flying back to Europe on Friday. Things are going well, we feel very blessed with our son who is a very sweet and caring boy with the occasional challenging moments
