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..

Favorite Poem
We are a family now, a whole,of which you are a part,and you are just as much our child as any in our heart. We do not love you differently,nor would we give up less of all that life has given us to bring you happiness.There is no limit to our love,no boundary you might cross,no price you may be asked to pay,no need to fear its loss. We are now one, the five of us,windows of one home. As long as we have life and breath,You’ll never be alone.~Nicholas Gordon

oh I can't wait for Monday when we are at TWO. I wish I was going with you again I could go to the store for Duane's fan:):)
Almost there!!! Its going past surreal to real!!
Shelley,
I am so very excited for you and your family! You are one of the last of the "old-timers" whose blog I will follow as you meet your wondeful little man. It is so nice that you are traveling with such a large group...we traveled with nine families, and I have gotten together with many of them throughout the last year. You will be amazed at how close you can become with total strangers as you share this incredible journey...so emotional.
I feel like it was just yesterday that you followed us to Brie, and now I get to see you united with Kevin!
Best of everything. You'll be hearing from me in China. I know how nice it is to hear familiar "voices from home" while there.
Hugs from New York,
Stacy
it seems weird that we aren't going with you!
