Our Promise

Drew and Kate have been looking for the end of the rainbow.

They have determined that the best treasure is there...
our sweet little sister.

We have had a lot of rainbows over the last several months.  They have become a very personal sign of hope and promise for us.

God loves to whisper hope to us.
He is so faithful to His promises.

Today, we found it.

A complete rainbow with both ends - right in our yard.
Our whole family stood on the porch and knew He was speaking.




Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping His covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commandments.  -Deut. 7:9



The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it. -
1 Thessalonians 5:24

Dossier for China!






  
We prayed over it Tuesday!










We mailed it Wednesday!










Our dossier arrived at our agency today!

This dossier is the collection of documents we have been compiling for the last four months.  It will represent our family in China during this process. 


Our agency will process it through the U.S. State Department and Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C.

Then, they will send it to China.

Once it arrives in China, we are fully available/eligible to be matched with a little girl.

We expect to be matched within the next several months, but it could literally be any day.

Thank you for all the prayers you have lifted up for our family!! 
God has truly been working in this process, and we are thankful for all He has done and will do. 
We can't wait to see all He is about to do!
We are ready for our sweet little girl to experience all of this love!

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope, for He who promised is faithful. - Hebrews 10:23
