Some of you know- and some don’t- that we are trying to adopt a baby from Hong Kong. His name is “For.” He is 18 months old, and he has Down Syndrome. For those that don’t know, our youngest child, Thomas, also has Downs. Children with Downs are such a blessing. I only wish the world knew that. These angel babies are aborted, abandoned and unwanted in every country of this world. If only people knew they were throwing out the greatest gift of God they are likely to ever receive….
We are anxious to have another baby in the family and for Thomas to have a younger brother to grow up with. They are about 1 year apart in age. This little house will be quite full with another child, but we are happy and don’t care if it’s a little crowded. The kids are so excited they can’t stand it. If you think about us, you might send up a prayer for us and For that we can get him here as quickly as possible. This baby needs a family and patience has never been a virtue of mine!
You can follow our progress and see For on this website if you’d like:

We are in the beginning stages of the adoption but are working fast and furiously. Our home study is being done tomorrow! Piles of paperwork await me to be done before the social worker comes. So I will write more later…
Here is a photo of our baby!
