Wednesday, I got an email that said our i-600 was approved! Squealing with excited I called Chris immediately. Now begins the three to six month investigation period. It could really go a lot faster than three, and that’s what we are praying for. However, the…
Spoiled, I tell you! Its only been about a month and I received more pictures of sweet Lainey. A few this time and in a couple she had big tears in her eyes. Chris and I are smitten, and the teary eyes… man he’s going…
A while back I mentioned wanting to use my skills and abilities to help the children I can’t adopt. There are so many kids that need help, both in the U.S. and abroad. My heart personally leans towards the DRC right now, mainly because of…

I thought today, such a perfect day to share that over Christmas we got an updated picture of our little girl. What a gift. She’s actually a bit bigger than the original picture (by more than a month). The friend who took this pictures, estimated…
