Friends

I'm not up to anything--REALLY!!!

Our friend Emma. Her mom and I are thinking--cute grandkids. Just kidding.

Funny kids.

Adrian singing "Where is Thumpkin"--a song we sang about 1000 times in the early days of our life together. I think songs from preschool in China gave him great comfort. He still loves for me to sing them to him when I rock him.

We are so blessed to have many Chinese friends for our kids. We have a great, sweet , precious group of incredible families who have adopted children from China . These families are invaluable support through all walks of adoptive life. Adoptive families have many of the same challenges as any family but many of the challenges are unique to adoption and specifically international adoption. We become a sort of support group for each other. This family is one of those families. We have been able to get to know them as we waited. They were with the same agency as us. They traveled about a month ahead of us to bring home their precious Emma. With each child the Lord has put a family in our lives that came home within a month or so with our agency. Those families have become very close to us and our kids are great friends. Our families need each other and the kids need each other as they grow up facing some unique challenges. Our Lord provides.
