The Beginning of this Journey...

The Lord began this journey towards our second adoption about 1 year ago. He put on our hearts to sponsor Kay - at Harmony Outreach and we did. When i first saw her, i fell in love with her and prayed for her to join our family. It wasn't until May 2008 that the Lord began to use her to open our hearts to adoption again. That was when we had John Bentley from Harmony Outreach (her foster program) staying with us and he told us that Kay was ready to be adopted internationally. We prayed about her and began the adoption process again. Unfortunately, it wasn't in God's plan for her to join our family but He did use her to open our hearts up to adoption again and we are excited to see where He takes us. We are Trusting in Him.

The Lord has brought Maylynn into our lives and hearts on Nov. 21st (that is when we received her referral). We are excited to see Him bring her home to us. Please pray for the rest of our journey. We can't wait to bring Maylynn home...

Maylynn Chinese New Year 2010

Even though Chinese New Year was over a month ago - this post is better late than never!

We had a fun time meeting up with other families from our area for a potluck. It's always so much fun watching all of the kids run around and catching up with the families.

Maylynn is fitting in perfectly with our family. Her language has increased so, so much - i'm amazed. Some of the phrases she says just tickles me:) Sometimes her pronunciation isn't quite clear but I can understand her. She loves to learn! She loves singing, loves reading books to herself, loves to count to 15ish, loves to sing the ABC's, loves to color and draw. She can't wait until she goes to preschool next year. She also has her stubborn moments but she's learning what she needs to do.

I am looking forward to her first birthday with us next month. So far, i'm just planning on a little party with some of her buddies - can't wait!
