Welcome To Our Journal

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

In mid-2005, Bobby and I felt led to adopt from China, and it has been a very long journey to our daughter. We invite you now to share in the best part of this journey, our trip to China to bring our daughter home.

UPDATE: On November 20, 2007, we sent our LOI to adopt a little girl who turned 3 years old on that very day. On May 30, we received our LOA from China, agreeing that we could adopt her, so now, we are only waiting on TA, or Travel Approval saying when we can come. We are praying it will be the last week of June, or the first week of July.

They are a wonderful organization. They are always in need of sponsors for the children in orphanages. If you would like additional information or would like to sponsor a child, please go to www.grace-hope.org and check them out.
