"Hi!
We are so happy to be a part of the 5/5/5/ families this month-We love nothing more than sharing this joy with other families! What is a blessing if it can't be shared?
We wanted to share with you all a little about us:
We always knew we wanted to adopt to begin our family, and we actually discussed adoption on our first date, and 2nd, and 3rd, and wedding day (which was all in a 6 month time frame!). Less than a year into our marriage, we found our Lucy-girl through the Reece's Rainbow site, and committed to her through Madison; it took a lot of convincing to everyone involved: we hadn't been married the required 2 years as set by China, and we hadn't parented before, as preferred by our agency. After phone interviews, conversations, a drilling home study, and sharing of the hearts, our agency accepted us and China approved our marriage length waiver! Fast forward to recently, when our agency was in China to visit some of their partnership orphanages and foster programs, and they were able to visit our sweet girl's foster home: there they discovered she and one of her foster brothers were very bonded and attached, (he is a sweet and deserving boy no family has ever inquired about :( ). The agency called to present this to us, and we immediately said, "Yes! We'd love to make him our son too!". So, now, here we are, racing to catch "Luke" up to Lucy-girl in the process. We are so excited to be able to keep these precious ones that have lived their lives together as brother and sister remaining forever brother and sister! God's ways are perfect and infinite and beautiful! Tears fill our eyes thinking of how He works all things together for His good, and His children's good. What a beautiful story He is allowing us to be a part of! Thank you for coming beside us and the other families this month, it is such joy and an honor!
