Daddy’s Wish for KateLin

"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break." - Chinese Proverb

The ancient Chinese proverb mentions the red thread that binds our lives together. We are destined to become parents to a little girl from China.

Please come along with us on our journey to China! We are Hope and Lance Wallace from Chesterfield, South Carolina. We have two sons (by birth) - Logan (9) and Christian (5).

We are at home finally with our precious little girl, after waiting 19 months from the first steps our Red Thread Journey. Now the real journey begins.....

"I didn't give you the gift of life,
But in my heart I know
The love I feel is deep and real
As if it had been so.
For us to have each other
Is like a dream come true!
No, I didn't give you
The gift of life,
Life gave me the gift of you."
