All of our hopes and dreams came true the day we held our daughter Natalie, now 7, in our arms. Nothing compares to the joy we experience as Natalie's parents. We found ourselves longing to adopt another child from China. Natalie needed a little sister. Years later, we have been blessed with a dream come true. We are thankful that God chose us to be Abigail's parents. We are excited and anxious about our trip to China to be united with Abigail. We are leaning on our faith in God to carry us through this journey. Pray for us all as you follow us on what is bound to be our adventure with Abigail!

An invisible red thread
connects those who are
destined to meet,
regardless of time, place,
or circumstance.
The thread may
stretch or tangle,
but it will never break.
Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still
miraculously my own.
Never forget for
a single minute,
You didn't grow
under my heart -
but in it.
We received updated photos of Abigail Mae this afternoon! She seems happier and pudgier than in her referral photos. We think we will travel the first of May, but still won't find out for sure for a couple of weeks.
