3 years ago today....

Three years ago today, we arrived at the Spokane airport from the Philippines with Crystal and Lavinia Pasco. I don't know who was more fearful, us or them. Our family of 5 had become a family of 7 overnight. We were exhausted and ill-prepared for what lay ahead. We had no idea the incredible pain, heartache, but ultimate joy that awaited us. We just knew that God had led us by faith to these two precious orphaned girls.... Emily and Ashley, we love you. We are so thankful that God, in his sovereignty, put you in our family. You are a blessing.

Oh, WOW, thanks for sharing that moving slide show. Made me tear up to imagine what the excitement and even nervousness you must of been feeling. And then to see all the little ones still needing a home, just breaks your heart. You are an amazing family and I feel so blessed to have you as a part of our lives now. God bless you all

A friend just sent me your blog link. We have been home 11 weeks today with our two little boys from the philippines-Luke (2, bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss) and Jansen (4). We live in North Carolina and have two biological daughters age 12 and 10. Would love to connect. Our blog is http://wreckedforgood.blogspot.com/
