Grab a hanky...

We found this video on another website and just had to share it with you all. It is a song written by Steven Curtis Chapman, a Christian artist, for his three daughters that he adopted from China. He and his wife have also created an organization called Shaohannah's Hope which is a great resource for anyone interested in adopting.

Hope you enjoy the video...

Bottom of the 7th...

"The Mick"


Another month under our belts! And a fast one, at that!! Now for your monthly referral update:

While we've waited another month, the wait for referrals has also increased by another month. Unfortunately the CCAA only matched 2 days worth of LIDs this time around, they have now referred babies to families whose log in dates are through October 26, 2005. These families waited approximately 17 months for their referral.

Seems like forever away, but we know we'll get there when we're supposed to. So, hang in there with us... It looks like we're headed for extra innings.

The Journey

The journey of infertility is a long and difficult one. Each couple that faces this heartbreaking realization in their life has their own unique experience to share. Resolution can come in many different ways, yet there are undoubtedly some common themes that every couple can identify with. We came across a video that does a beautiful job of expressing what many people endure while on their journey to become parents.

Though we have found our path... the path that God made for us, we wanted to share this touching video with all of you. For anyone out there that might be facing similar circumstances... and are struggling for direction, we encourage you to keep praying and hold on to the hope that you will find the way.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight.--- Proverbs 3:5-6
