Why China?
When we first considered adopting, we didn't have a specific country or place in mind. We just knew we wanted to be a family to a child who needed one.
As we began the process and asked questions, we learned that China has had a consistently smooth adoption process for many years now. Practically speaking, three things confirmed this matching decision for us: Our age - China approves couples 30-55app and the domestic program typically chooses younger families, The high # of orphans in China, Our openness to special needs and an older child.
Spiritually speaking, God continued to confirm this decision for us. My heart has never been more drawn to this country and it's people. On our cruise with Make-A-Wish, even with around 3000 people aboard, one family kept showing up wherever we were: A beautiful Chinese family with toddlers. I know God was showing us a picture of our future child and I couldn't help but smile every time.
Thank you for praying for this country and for our child.
Why China? Because that's where our daughter is!
