We got to the government building at 9:30am Monday morning August 13, it was a quick 5 minute drive from our hotel. We are traveling with 4 other families who were also getting their babies. When we arrived, one of the families daughter was already there waiting…I lost it…its so much time, energy and emotions leading up to this […]
Jay Motley is here to share his thoughts on adoption and a whole lot on perspective…enjoy! H ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why did y’all adopt? How did y’all pick China? All girls?? These are some of the questions we get from both interested and bemused onlookers. Granted, this is usually right after the ,”Are they twins?” question, to which we sweetly say no, […]
We just returned from a week at Pine Cove Family Camp, it is by far one of our favorite weeks in our year. “Pine Cove exists to be used by God to transform the lives of people for His purposes and His glory”, and it does just that! We spent the week growing closer to Him and to each other. […]
I’m not huge on character stuff, but I had to have these because not only are the girls Frozen crazy, they say Family Forever! I love these sweet girls!
My apologies for not sending more updates, after our first day in Hefei, I struggled to get on my blog or Facebook…we arrived in Guangzhou last night and we are well connected here so I promise to update soon! We will spend the next week here getting Emma’s medical done and visa for the US completed. We are leaving now to go […]
Emma’s adoption was finalized this morning! We are completely in love with her!
I can’t believe that its almost time, in just under 4 hours we will meet our precious Emma Grace. (that’s between 7:45-8:15pm Texas time) Me and the girls are wide awake…who can sleep when your life is about to change forever? Jay can, thats who! Pray, pray, pray for Emma, in an hour she will be headed to Hefei (where we are, its the capital of her province) it will take her over 2.5 hours to get here. Also, pray for me and Amelia, we are so sleep deprived we are trying to get sick…pray for our congestion to be gone and for us all to sleep great tonight! McMot just asked that y’all pray that she gets back into the same class when we get home and that Amelia and Emma get along well. (I love this sweet girl!)
Its been a while…sorry for that. Life tends to get in the way! But now seems like a perfect time to jump back into blogging. Just as we get Amelia out of diapers, we think its time to add to our crew. As most of you know, we are in the middle of our second adoption for our baby girl from […]
