A Promised Child

As a child I told my mother, "When I grow up, I want to adopt all the little kids in the world who don't have mommies or daddies." God planted adoption in my heart when I played with baby-dolls. He brought a brave Knight alongside me, and lead us on an adventure of discovering our Father's unfailing love. This is our story, filled with peril and romance, sorrow and joy. It begins with a call to a mother’s heart…and unexpected invitation to a faraway place. It begins with a promise…of a child.

Court Date!

I just got an email this morning from Mei-Li's orphanage/our attorney that her court date is set for JULY 28TH!!! Her birth parents will attend this court session, and have the option of either signing away their rights as parents or taking her back. If they sign their rights away, there will be a 10 day waiting period during which they can change their minds. They have the option of signing this away as well in order to free her for adoption sooner. If all goes well, we could bring her home late August or early September. Brandon is locked into a Court Marshall Board for the last week of August, so pray there is no conflict! Hold on, Baby Girl, Mommy and Daddy will be there soon!
