HAPPY 1ST GOTCHA DAY ANNIVERSARY!





Hard to believe but one year ago today, we were sitting in a government office in Changsha, Hunan China waiting to be united w/our daughter! It feels as though she has been in our family forever. Yet it feels like just yesterday we were in China! I miss it!!!!
Claire has done wonderfully attaching & adjusting. She has gained over 10 pounds and grew a couple of inches! She is still a petite thing though!
Thanks again to everyone who supported us & prayed for us through this whole process!!!!!!
Enjoy a few new photos of her & her family!!!!!

If you ever feel that pull................

As we come up on our one year "Gotcha Day" anniversary w/Claire, I sit & wonder about all those orphans across the globe waiting & hoping for their Forever Families. If you ever feel the pull to consider adoption, pray about it and watch this video. It is eye-opening............
