We finally received our Pre-Approval to adopt Wennie (nickname for now - still grapling with her American name). Here are a few pics of her. We are on track to travel this spring (we hope).

For finding your mother,
There's one certain test.
You must look for the creature,
Who loves you the best.

About Me

- We are a forty something couple (at least one of us is)(we both were when we started this process again) with two kids, Josh (12) and Meigan (4). We are in the process of adopting our third child from China. We are looking forward to adding another child to our family!

A poem dear to our hearts..
Every call has a beginning.
A quiet moment when
God whispers a promise to a mother's heart.
A holy place where a father bows and faithfully
accepts the journey set before him.
A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns......
casting it's first light on a chosen threshold.
A closed door opens.
A sacred invitation sent by the Father
leads to the other side of the world.
Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows
praying for someone to care....
And then one morning,
on an ordinary day
an orphan's life changes.
God sends them a second chance.....
through you.

Your daughter is just beautiful! Welcome to the Luoyang family;) We adopted our Luoyang son just one year ago and feel he was well cared for. He has really blossomed since coming home last January and is right on track developmentally now. I hope your wait is short to Wen!
