February

The answer to that reoccurring question: Where are they now? The answer is April 6, 2006. Families with April 4 and 5 received referrals this week. To see some beautiful babies check out the February Referrals link on the right sidebar.

Haiti

We wanted to share with you how our adoption agency is directly involved with helping the orphaned children in Haiti. If you are interested in making a donation to a Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund and want to make sure that 100% of your donation aids the children there, please follow this link http://www.chinesechildren.org/ . They have updated videos and information on how the governments are working together to get the children to safety.

January 2010

Please accept our apology for not posting in so long. Yes, we are still on this journey. What a journey it has been. A journey of faith, love, courage and discovering what the Lord has planned for us. We have grown a lot as a family this last six months and have strengthened our faith in the Lord. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

The Chinese Center for Adoption Affairs has a new director and families with log in dates including April 3, 2006 have received referrals. What does that mean for us? Projections have us with a referral by October. I will continue to post monthly to update you on referrals.

In addition to keeping up with the adoption world, I also have become a frugal shopper. I promised many of my friends I would link a few of my favorite coupon/saving sites on this blog, they can be found on the right.

July 2009


Happy 4th of July!
May your celebration find you happy, healthy and thankful to all who maintain our safety and freedom.
We have updates to share. The question you are probably wondering is what date are they at now? March 21st is next.Predictions are that they may get to June 7th by the end of the year. Keep those prayers coming. The Lord has a plan for us, one that continues to make us stronger and carry out his work. That plan includes helping take care of one of China's Preemies. We have been sponsoring a little girl through Love Without Boundaries who has been growing beautifully each month. That plan also includes working with a new agency. We received a letter last week stating that our agency can no longer sustain itself financially. Therefore, they made an arrangement for us to work with CCAI (Chinese Children Adoption International). I have changed the links to take you to their website if you are interested in checking them out.
Dave is starting work on a Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and the first course he is taking is Multiculturalism and it will take place in Thailand. Yes, we will be spending three weeks in Thailand visiting schools, the Ministry of Education, and being adventurous. Again, please keep us in your prayers.
