Thank you all for your patience in following our journey. This journey has been much longer than we would have ever expected. When we began in October 2005 it was only supposed to take 8 months and it has turned in to 3 + years. I know I have said many times "we are almost there." Hopefully soon you will find photos posted on our blog.

We need your prayers now more than ever. Please pray for Jade's safety and health. Pray that she feels loved. Also please pray for our finances, health and travel mercies. Ask God to prepare our hearts for our first meeting with this precious baby he is entrusting us with.

I will post news as soon as I receive it!
