"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break."
~Chinese Proverb

“Adoption is a perfect picture of what God has done for each of us in making us His children through Christ. Psalm 68:5-6 tells us that as the Father of the fatherless, God delights in setting the lonely in families. It has been our experience that the scriptural mandate of caring for orphans, such as the one found in James 1:27, is really a wonderful invitation to experience God in a profound way by being part of His sovereign plan for His precious children.” Steven Curtis Chapman & Mary Beth Chapman, Authors of "Shaoey and Dot", a story about adoption.

We have 2 wonderful kids who have filled our lives to overflowing with their personalities and love. Abby was adopted in 2001 at the age of 8 months. Abby was born in the Jiangxi province in China. That adoption took almost 2 years, which at the time seemed like an eternity, but compared to adoptions today, it was somewhat short. Micah was adopted from Korea. We got Micah in 2003 at the age of 6 months. Each of our children have had very different journeys to arrive in our family, but both are without a doubt very much brother and sister. They have a great relationship, not without squabbles, but they really get along well. We pray that they will always be close and we hope that the addition of Nathan doesn’t affect their close bond -Craig
