A Love Birthed In Our Heart

Children have always been dear to my heart. About 16 years ago I was visiting with a friend. She had just adopted a darling daughter from China. During that visit-God birthed in my heart the desire to bring home a little girl from China. Many years and prayers later-Marty and I began the journey of home studies-classes-mounds and mounds of paperwork-fire marshal visits-well water checks-safety audits-interviews-fingerprints by FBI, BCI and Homeland Security/CIS fingerprints-the long list goes on. This had to be repeated every 18 months. We waited and waited and sometimes I wondered-would this really happen?  All along, God through His  faithfulness and timing- had a plan. Through a series of awesome miracles and  events-after 6 years of waiting-we recieved word this Sept. 29th that we have a daughter! She is beautiful and we love her so much already! Thank you God from Whom all blessings flow!
