“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.

Liu Min Li

This adorable little boy has quite a connection to our Emma Grace. They are both from Fuzhou City in the Fujian Province. He is a few months older than her. They lived together in the orphanage and were both taken to the same hospital for heart surgery. They were both discharged to the Philip Hayden Foundation where they have lived together ever since. So, they have basically lived together their entire lives. I have been thinking about this little boy a lot and every time a new list of children comes out, I check for his file. I haven't been able to find him, so I finally asked PHF about him. They said his orphanage is just now processing his paper work, so hopefully he will be going on the list later this year or early next year. We are praying that MinLi finds his forever family, and that we are able to stay connected with him and his family. Our children have a special connection.
