“An invisible red thread connects those who

are destined to meet, regardless of time,

place, or circumstance. The thread may

stretch or tangle, but will never break.”

An ancient Chinese belief


Our family made the decision to adopt in June 2009. We pursued a special needs adoption, and we were blessed with a referral of the most beautiful girl on May 21, 2010. We originally started this website to fundraise for our adoption expenses by selling tutus and hair bows. Our fundraising efforts coupled with a grant from Lifesong for Orphans were a tremendous financial blessing. We traveled to China in late October 2010 to meet our daughter. Now, Emma Grace is home... forever.

Emma's Birthday Pictures

Emma Grace turned one on July 26. We sent her a package but it did not make it to PHF in time :( Hopefully it has made it there by now and she is enjoying her new toys! We celebrated at our house by singing happy birthday and eating cake. We will certainly make up for this birthday on her second birthday. We are relieved that she is in a place that values her life and without a doubt celebrated the day she was born.

It is hard to not think about her birth parents on a day like her birthday. Although we are unaware of their circumstance, we know that sacrificing a child is never an easy decision. We will forever be thankful for them and for choosing LIFE for our Emma Grace.
