China Adoption

For those wondering... Yes, we are still adopting from China... someday... God willing...

Seriously, the wait times are crazy, and we really do not know when it will happen.  Right now we are updating all our paperwork, because besides the changes (Evan's adoption), all the paperwork expires every 18 months.  I am reminded how much I hate paperwork. 

The follow letter from Amy Eldridge, founder of Love Without Boundaries, has been posted on a number of forums and lists that I visit. It is a real tear jerker... I think I'll let it speak for it's self.

I thought from time to time I will talk a little bit about some of the blogs that I read.

First up there is Chinese Starfish.
This is the blog of a South African woman living in China running a foster home for children with special needs. Her story is interesting, heartwarming, sad, and a powerful testimony to the good still in this world.

I love reading this blog for so many reasons. It gives me a look into the culture of my future daughter. It allows me to feel a connection to real children in China. But perhaps the biggest thing is that, if I were single, I would love to to be doing exactly what Amanda is.
