Our Journey Begins...

As you are reading this for the first time, maybe you have just learned about our journey, or maybe you have known for some time.  To each of you...WELCOME  and THANK YOU for joining us on this journey!  We are  so very grateful for the love and support of our family and friends.

How it all began....
We have often spoken about our desire to adopt the final child that would complete our family.  It always seemed so far off in the distance though.  Something changed recently, and we found ourselves thinking about adoption more often.  Then in March 2012 we felt a constant calling and knew it was time.  We could not deny the thoughts and feelings that were filling our minds and hearts.  So....

March 28th:  the first meeting with our adoption agency,

                           Welcome House of Pearl S. Buck International

March 31st:   we mailed our Facesheet of Applicantion

And so our journey begins...a maze of paperwork and waiting, more paperwork and more waiting.  We anticipate that our journey will lead us to China and end in approximately one year...when we see the sweet face of a young child with a mild special need that has deemed him/her unacceptable or unadoptable in his or her own country...and he/she will become ours, a part of our family, the end of our Red Thread.

It's going to be an amazing journey, thank you for coming along with us!
