Welcome to our family website.

This blog, which began as a therapeutic outlet during the wait for our daughter's arrival, morphed into a place to share feelings, ask for support, and flip through a virtual 'brag book' of photos. NOW, as we embark on our second adoption trek, please join us as we plan, pray, and travel again to the other side of the world to be united with the next piece of our family puzzle.

Peace & Blessings...Beth & Ron (and Hope too)

Referral Update

I know that there are a lot of people out there praying for us and our strength as we near the end of the waiting portion of our journey. Thank you for all the encouraging messages and support. I just wanted to let everyone know that the rumors of last week, referrals in the air/on the ground in the U.S., etc., are now changing. It sounds like some families are receiving TA's (travel approvals) today and the package that was sent from China probably contained those and not referrals. Bummer for us, YEA for them. We will just have to keep our ears to the ground for more news and hope that our referral will arrive very soon. No matter what, we are close, and WE ARE NEXT. For now, I'll just try to have a productive spring break week and get some things accomplished around here. Thanks again everyone.

Oh Beth and Ron...I am so bummed right now for you guys. I'm not even sure what to say. I know the old "it'll be soon" is wearing thin. I hope it helps to know that we'll be praying even more now.
We love you guys!
Mark, Mel and Hope

Ron and Beth,
I agree with Melody and we are watching and praying with you. You are next. All this is just frustrating gossip. She's there and she is yours. God will watch over her til you get her.
Love, Deb
