We celebrated Iris's Gotcha Day last week. It was June 11, 2010, when we met Iris for the first time. In three short years she has had a busy life. She now has a forever family, moved across the globe, multiple surgeries, started school, has her own room, played on her first basketball team, scored her first basket, can write her name in cursive, and has so many people that love her.
Iris we love you and are so lucky that you are part of our family. You are such an inspiration for all of us. God placed you in our family for a reason and we are so glad he did!
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
