Amazingly, another page has turned. Annabelle Sublett is turning 12! “Is this the little girl I carried…” well, sort of. Although it took a good number of years before we finally got to call her family, she’s been in our hearts for ever, and we’d been dreaming of her for Read more…
Seriously, this kid has some sort of mojo going. It’s amazing to see. I was his wing-man for today’s “Countries of the World” presentation. He, being from Inner Mongolia, China, should have had the inside track to do a report on China, specifically Inner Mongolia, right? Nope. He did a Read more…
She turned 15 over the weekend, which is pretty significant when I stop to think about it. Less than 2 years ago she was living in China, no family to speak of, no future, no hope. Now she’s surrounded by not just a family, but a TEAM who loves her, Read more…
most of the day went Kim’s way. I say “most” because she is, after all, still “mom,” which brings a certain level of responsibility that cannot be shrugged off, even one day of the year! But this past Sunday was pretty much a win for Kim. We dedicated our four Read more…

Kim posted this news on her FB yesterday, so please excuse the redundancy, but it bears repeating: Our adoption agency called yesterday afternoon to let us know that we have been approved to travel to China to get Annabelle! They’ll be calling back Monday to confirm the actual date, but Read more…
We got an email from our friend Ann in China today. I don’t think I’ve told you about her, have I? Ann was recommended to us by our adoption agency. She lives in China, and has a unique role in the adoption process. She takes pictures and letters that we Read more…
At least that’s what they tell me. My sniffer doesn’t work all that well… We’ve just completed a fundraiser through This Little Light of Mine Candle Company to try to cover some of the costs for our impending adoption. It has been a long wait, and more expensive than I Read more…
