Hello friends and family!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by our adoption blog! We are excited for what God has planned for our family, and for the child we will be adopting from China. Currently, we are nearing the end of the home study process, and working on our dossier (our international documents for China). We have been through adoption classes, which were filled with incredible information regarding what to expect (and not expect!) in this process. The next step, after the paperwork is complete, will be a time of waiting. Waiting to be approved by the Chinese government, and waiting to be matched with a child who will forever be ours!

As we wait, we ask for your prayers. Specifically, for wisdom in this process, for our hearts and the child's heart to be prepared for this transition, and for God's provision in each step of the process. He knows what we need before we ask, and we continually rely upon His goodness and grace. Our family will keep you updated about the process. 

Our link is up for Adoption Bug T-shirts! We are excited!! Just click on the link and ORDER A SHIRT from our page, and a portion of the proceeds go toward some of our adoption costs. Also, we will be having a GARAGE SALE on May 17 and 18. Find out how you can help by clicking on our "Fundraisers" tab!

We are SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for each one of you who has expressed your love and support for our family in this decision to adopt. We love you!

Blessings,

John, Dawn, Esther and Anita
