We have some very exciting news!! When our I800 document was approved, our adoption agency had provided us with contact information to two wonderful families who had adopted a child (one of them adopted two children) from the same foster mom as Emma. We were so thrilled about the possibility of learning more about Emma's foster mom and about Emma. But what these families gave us was even more of a blessing, they gave us the personal contact information so we could reach out to Emma's foster mom!!! We feel so incredibly blessed for this gift, because most families do not have the opportunity to see more than 2-3 pictures of their child, and we have the opportunity to ask questions to the individual who has been caring for Emma for the past 3 1/2 years!! Emma's foster mom is amazing and we love her and are so grateful for the gift she is for our family and for all the information, pictures and videos she has sent us!!! God is so incredibly good!!!
The reason we want to share this with you is because it is such an amazing God moment in our story. We can't even begin to describe how awesome it has been to be able to reach out to Emma's foster mom (we call her Emma's China mom), to learn more about her and about Emma. We have put together a little video we would like to share with everyone from the pictures and videos Emma's China mom has sent us. To view this video, please click the link below:

Currently, we are anticipating traveling early October. We were hoping for September but we are going to just miss the cut to make this possible. We are around $16,000 short of being able to fully fund our adoption. If you would like to partner with us financially to help us bring Emma home, please check out the link below. We currently have $1300 left in matching donations we can receive from Lifesong. This is an incredible opportunity for our family.

Thank you all so much for your love and support!! We are so grateful for your donations and prayers that are helping us get one step closer to bringing our baby girl home!!
God Bless
