Finally a Family

A couple of weeks ago, I told the story about a 5-year-old pointing out that a family was more important than presents.

Well, something happened and her papers started moving, and today we were able to give her the news that she has a family.

Emily is an orphan no more.

Yesterday's low... today's high... it's a roller coaster. Mostly a beautiful one...

My Blog by Topic

Everything Nice - She's my sugar and spice. Born in the Year of the Dragon (Jan 2011) in Beijing, my little dumpling has turned my world upside down and taught me so much about the heart of God.

All Our Children - All you could want to know about the children in our lives. Proof positive that New Day Foster Home has got the corner on cute.

The Deep End - So deep you might need waders. See if you can make sense of my attempts to wax philosophical and share thoughts on our faith and our life.

TIC (This is China) - Sometimes it feels like we live on another planet and not just in another country. Mostly we love it.

Let's Talk About Us - Because what's a blog without a healthy dose of shameless narcissim? And I know how much you like listening to me talk about what I know best.

Hannah's Story - The story of a special little girl and the story of how we came to be in China... all rolled up into one.

Etc. - The random posts that don't really belong elsewhere. Reading these will probably not be a very interesting use of your time.
