Our Story

Most of you already know we are adopting from China. There is a story behind it. My husband has been ready for quit some time, but I wasn't sure that I was. I was confused as to what we were suppose to be doing. I was not sure if I was to be a helper and a prayer for the other families in our church who have and are adopting or exactly what I was suppose to do. For about the last six months I have been researching different countries and adoption agencies. It seemed that everytime I thought oh yes I would like to adopt from there, the country would be temperary closed to adoption. This went on until about two and a half weeks ago. For three weeks in a row I would be singing on Sunday in church and would just start crying for what I thought was no reason. On Sunday September 14th I was crying so I closed my eyes and began to pray I wanted to know why. When I opened my eyes a beautiful little girl from China was staring me in the face. That is when I broke down and told my friend Connie that I was ready. The Lord will make you listen even if he has to smack you in the face every now and then. I now realize that as I was doing my research before that the reason every country was closed was because that was not where we were suppose to go. We are suppose to go to China!
