“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.

I800A Approval!

Our I800A approval came today. In the big picture, this isn't much to cheer about because we were supposed to already have it :) But, since we switched to a special needs adoption we had to get a new one. You know how it is waiting on papers to pass through government! We were surprised to get this in just 3 weeks. Now, we are just waiting on our LOA (letter of acceptance) and when we get this, we would anticipate travel 10-12 weeks later. We are hoping and praying for this LOA very soon! The average wait is 39 days and we are at day 20.... could be any day now!!!!!
