These are the photos of Michelle we were given by Yulin SWI- The Yulin SWI director is running a very quality program on very little money. We are so grateful for their gift of love, respect and nurturing of Caixing. On August 14th (finalized adoption day), we received a cd full of pictures of Caixing's life. They are such a treasured gift. In the pictures are Caixings foster mom, orphanage nanny, many mei mei' (little sisters) and jie jhie's (big sisters) and other foster moms. Some of the children pictuured may have been adopted and if you recognize your child - please send me an email and I will send you their photos.

Finally Home

August was a very busy month. For those who do not know - we added two new daughters to our family- No not twins- Our James married the beautiful Heather Joy on August 4th 2007 at a beautiful church ceremony in South Alabama. Then on August 7th at 4 AM we left our Atlanta Georgia home to head to Guangzhou China. In Nanning, on August 13th we met our beautiful daughter Caixing, Michelle. Dan and I can not thank enough people for all of the support and effort given to us this past July and August. It came through many avenues, but especially from God, the Hope For Children staff in Atlanta and China, our families, my wonderful sisters, our dear friends and many acquaintances and most importantly Caixing's Foster Mother. She did a wonderful job raising Caixing, who is loving, smart, friendly, kind, and sweet. I will never be able to repay her for what she did for Caixing and our family, but I will continue to pray daily for her health, safety, and special work that God has given her to do.
Please enjoy the following pictures of James's and Heather's Wedding and Our new addition to our family Michelle Jeanne with related pictures of Ger Ger Zach (Big Brother) and our incredible trip to China.

We have several miracles to share about God's perfect timing- Waiting and Having Patience, and God always has the best plans when we follow what he wants for our lives.
