By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us
reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged
for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." - Author unknown

Bring Owen Smith HOME!

When Jake was in Taiwan, he had a playmate and bestest friend, Owen.  This little boy found his forever family not long after we found Jake.  Unfortunately, because of US government red tape, Owen is still in Taiwan.  His adoption has been finalized by the Taiwanese government!  But the US side refused to recognize it - even though all the hoops have been jumped through!  I am very emotional about this because.....there but for the grace of GOD go I.  The pain that Owen's family must be going through today, of all days, as Owen celebrates his 1st birthday, must be unbearable.  Please read his story.  If there is anyone you know, please contact them.  We MUST bring Owen home!
