We Have a Baby!!!!

God Can Move the Mountains!

Our adoption paperwork arrived in China back in September.  Each month as China sends out the list of available orphans, we were told they were unable to find a match for us.  Each month has been filled with heartache as no match was found.  Our agency is working on agreements with two orphanages however those children's files will not be ready until February.  So, I decided that between Thanksgiving, Christmas, multiple birthdays, New Years and the birth of my first nephew that I would stay busy until it was my turn to receive a match.
Monday night, November 26th a list came out from China.  We were not expecting to hear anything however, we had a specific prayer.  After three months of waiting we prayed for God to move mountains if our little girl was on the November list.  We ask for Him to take away all obstacles in the way of us being matched with her.
He has moved the mountains and we have a match!!  As I sat at work Tuesday morning scanning through my list of emails, one came in from our agency that said "possible referral". My hands were shaking so hard that I could not even type.  As I opened the email I saw 22 attachments.  The first 18 that I opened were all in Chinese!  Seriously?!?  I can hardly speak English so how in the world can I read these files.  Then I came across the most precious, bright eyed, round chubby cheeks baby girl and I knew that our search was over!


She is 11 months old living in Kunming City, China.  She was found abandoned on the streets and at the time she was found the doctors "guessed" she was about 5 months old.  As many of you know we went through the special needs program of China, so many of you have ask what her special needs might be.  Well, her paperwork reads that she has a mild heart murmur, and she is small for her age.  Are you for real?!?!?!  Several members of my family have a heart murmur and she is small for her age because you don't really know her age!  Needless to say we are blessed beyond measures.

God can move the mountains!
