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

Here I plead for Guidance.....

Dear Lord,

I have followed your calling faithfully. I sought this promised child in far off lands and did not find him. And yet you call me still. Can he be where I now search? I beg you to show me the way.

I will follow where you lead.

New Year, New Hope!


We have discussed looking for a different country, other than Vietnam, for this long awaited baby #2. And, unless GOD has other plans for us, we are feeling a special pull toward Taiwan. Right now we are trying to find an agency that feels just right, or we might try doing this adoption - Independent! Well, with much help from GOD, that is. Taiwan is one of the few countries that do independent adoptions and the orphanages there will help you with all the Taiwan documents needed. Since we've been through the paperchase again and again, I feel that we would be able to handle this challenge.

Keep you fingers crossed that we find the right path, again!

HO-HO-HO! Computer Meltdown

I am using my cell to try and post that our computer bit the big one and getting here is very, very hard. We had a Wonderful Christmas & I pray that you did, too. I will try to post more ASAP.

He found another Family

I saw myself falling in love, he was a beautiful little boy. But God had other plans for him. Before I could get information on him, a family in Taiwan chose him for their own. So while I am sad for myself, I am happy that he will have his 'right' forever family.

On a bright note, this has shown me that there IS a child out there for us. And there are many, many options open that I never knew existed.

So now we wait again. But this time, the waiting is a little easier. There is Hope!
