Our indescribable gift!

Yes, our new daughter is Chinese.

No, she is not in China.

She is here in my arms!!!

At just 3 months old!!!!!


First moments with Mommy.

Indescribable joy in meeting our precious little angel!
First bath from Mommy.

Taking in all the action in a home full of kids!




This was an absolutely amazing whirlwind adoption experience, taking just 1 month from the time we found out about our baby girl to the time we held her in our arms.  In just 4 weeks we completed the home study and all other necessary paperwork, planned a trip, and traveled to meet our sweet little angel!  After 4 previous lengthy adoptions, all full of troubles, it's still impossible to believe we completed an adoption so quickly and easily!  Also, because we have always had a heart for the waiting children our previous adoptions have all been "older" children.  Caleb (our biological son) has been our only baby.  It is such a joy to have a baby in our home again!

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! - 2 Corinthians 9:15

What an incredible gift. she is beautiful!

Love seeing how the Lord has been at work leading you to your precious daughter. Without the steps of faith with your previous adoption the ground work would not have been laid for this one. So many details laid in place along the way by our amazing God. His hand is so evident!
