Description

Many of you already know . . . some may not . . .we have been in the process of adopting from China for 5 years now. Finally on November 28 of this year we were matched with a little girl. Things are moving along quite faster than expected now. We are currently waiting for our travel approval and then a couple weeks after that we will be on our way to China to get her.

We are naming her Hope.
