China 2012
Dear A Child Waits Foundation,
We cannot express how much we want to thank you for approving a grant for us to help get our little boy from China!
In December 2011, right before Christmas, we decided to grow our family through adoption. We already had two biological children, a nine year old girl and a two year old boy. We knew we wanted a child younger than our oldest, but other than that we were open to anything. After trying to get started, adopting domestically didn't go anywhere, we happened upon the China adoption program. The China program's requirements matched us well as a family, so we chose to investigate further. We pursued many lists of waiting Chinese children with special needs, when one day we found a picture of a little boy with a repaired cleft lip and palate. We felt like God put him on our hearts, and we just knew he was the one.
Fast forward to October 2012, and we are home from China with our new son! We just got back very late on Saturday night. Many members of our extended family and friends had followed along with us on our journey as we kept a blog of our travels, and their prayers and emotional support have been a blessing.
Our son is adjusting well so far. He comes to both of us with hugs, and he likes playing with his new brother and sister. He even slept for half of the long plane flight home! He is a soft-spoken, good natured sweetie pie with the biggest smile! He literally wakes up with a smile every morning! We can't wait to see the things he will do as he grows up. He really seems to be the perfect fit for our family.
We cannot thank A Child Waits Foundation enough for helping us with the exact amount of money we needed near the end right before travel. What a blessing!
Thanks again!
