Adopting a third world child is a pretty surreal experience and it is something I'm very excited about. Many have quickly responded with encouragement, support and excitement! Can hardly wait but I have a long journey ahead! Aren't these 2 going to be great sisters to our new member?!

to your new member.
I just spoke with a couple that have gone through this process and are in the midst of adoption for the second time. I have permission to forward their names, telephone numbers and email address to you. I will give you this info. in person.
Teena,
If anyone would make a great family for adoption for a child, You All Would!
What a blessed little person they will be! Especially with two Lovely sisters to Love them as well!
Can't wait to talk more to you about it!

Wow...what an amazing journey this will be for all of you.
I hope you blog it all, i am very intersted (as I'm sure most are) to hear about it.
I remember a day years ago, sitting in a car, with a young woman who was scared spitless that she was pregnant. And even more scared about being a mom.
she believed that she could never be a good mom.
I told her that ONLY she could be that perfect mom the child would need............... Who'da thought, now this strong warrior woman, will save a life and share her love.
Proud beyond measure of who you are.
thank you so much for your encouragement. you made my day.
Bless You Teena...
I pray the journey is shortened and smooth for you. You and Mark will provide an Awesome home!
Jianna has my heart a little stretched...
During her letter sharing at school yesterday..."z"; she informed the class that the toy zebras she had brought were for her 2 Chinese sisters to play with....
My heart aches at the uncertainty of timeing etc....yet the girl's certainty as if it were tomorrow.
I am trusting this to God as well...
I was so excited when Andrew told me Mark had shared with him about your "expecting"! I'm excited to read about your journey as it unfolds!
Our prayers are with you for the process to be quick with no surprises so that this precious one can be added to your hearts and home as soon as possible.
