Here we grow again!!!!

 If you had told us a year ago that this is where we would be now we would have both laughed!!!!  We felt our family was complete when we added London to our family during the summer of 2012.  Then my cousin got pregnant and we were giving her our girls' crib.  On August 18th, 2014 Todd was taking my uncle to pick up the crib and I made this statement on Facebook “Something so final about giving your babies cribs away”…and as I wrote it out I felt like it was a lie...  And just like that I heard God whisper “But you aren’t done.”  I tried to shake it off….it was just a sad Mama giving away her babies crib, but the feeling wouldn’t go away.  Finally I mentioned it to Todd and he said he thought that we were done.  I just couldn’t shake off the thought that someone was missing....missing from our lives, missing from our family pictures and missing from our hearts and souls….she became more than a longing and became a child, our child calling out to us…. once she became a real person, a real person that is missing from our family there  was no turning away from her, it would be like us abandoning our child on the other side of the world and that we just could not do.  We don’t know who she is yet but we know she is out there and waiting for us!  We hope to learn who she is in the next couple months and then travel to get her hopefully between Thanksgiving and Christmas or the first of the year.  Please pray for our family as we grow from 4 to 5.

We've started a fundraiser to assist in the funding that we need to make our adoption possible.   Your generous donation is tax deductible to you through the pure charity website and will be sent directly to our adoption agency.  Every donation is important and will help make this adoption possible.  Also, we would really appreciate your willingness to share this with others who may want to help us adopt our third daughter from China.

Thank you so much for being a part of our lives and helping us in an way that you are able.

Love and God Bless,

Erika, Todd, Madison and London
