The waiting is getting tougher. We are so anxious to go get Iris but we are still a few months away, at least. The love grows stronger every day and we wish we coud just hold her. I may have said this before but it is amazing how you can love someone so much and have never been in her presence. The prayers continue that all delays and roadblocks will be lifted so our travel will come as soon as possible.
We also pray for all of the orphans in Haiti.
This is our story for bringing our beautiful daughter home from China. We hope you enjoy the journey with us and share in our love for this awesome child God is placing in our family. The story continues as now we are adding a sweet little boy to our family as well. Now the story continues (again) with our next adoption. Not sure of who God will place in our family but we are moving forward and know He has already decided and we will soon find out.

Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12

WOW!!! He promises these things in Jeremiah 29:11!! Again, the waiting is hard but God's timing is so perfect. He knows what is on your hearts, He loves you all more than you can understand, and He only wants the best for you. So rest in Him and commit this day to Him....for you and for Iris! I love you Joel, Melissa, Ansley, Elliot and Iris!
