Meet Norah

Our new daughter!!!! 3 weeks ago we signed up with an agency and could not believe our eyes as we opened our e-mail early Thursday morning - there she was!!!!
Norah is 21 months old and lives in an orphanage in the southern part of China - the latitude of Mexico. She has had a cleft lip repair and we will have the palate repaired upon returning home. We hope to travel in May or June, following several months of paperwork which we started on 3 weeks ago.
We are SO thrilled, humbled, excited, overwhelmed in paperwork, and READY to love our new daughter with all our beings.
Please join us in prayer as we being the journey to being Norah home.

So thankful

I know you don't know me, but I know Dana and Nate and have seen their posts and was even invited to the event going on this Saturday in your honor. Sadly I will not be able to attend, but I did want to send this quick note. I was adopted from Korea when I was about 9 months old. Ever since I was old enough to truly understand what that meant, I have been fascinated with adoption and the process. I have since been back to Korea on a Korea Motherland Tour and was able to meet my birth mother and several Aunts, Uncles and cousins. I hope to adopt one day, too. Good luck with the process and bringing her home safely. Are you traveling to China to get her?

Thank you for reading and letting me share my story with you!
