MATTHEW DID IT...

That is Marielle's newest phrase. When she gets in trouble she says Matthew did it. Now mind you we have talked about adopting little brother BUT although we have two agencies that will work with our Homestudy agency we have not started the process just yet....

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 its first light on a chosen threshold.
A gentle knock..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..

The Hague 2

Well mommy found out today that the agency that helped them find my big sister Marielle is willing to help to find me unless things changes between now and next Spring I may be coming from China too.

THE HAGUE

Well a little treaty called the Hague is making things a bit more difficult this time around.

So mommy is looking into domestic options at this point. But whatever plan God has for our family with all the doors closing we just have to be willing to step through the ones that are opening.

The Start of the Journey

We will soon be starting the journey to find you. We have not decided which path to take just yet. But when we do Mommy will update everyone on all the details.
