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)

1st Steps

I just wanted to let everyone know some very exciting news from the Heutmaker home. Hope took her first steps last night! She let go of Mom and walked about 4 steps to Dad. We're not really trying to push her into walking, but she's getting stronger everyday. She didn't take any steps on her own today, but we know she can and she'll do it again when she's ready.

Just a short report tonight. Thought you'd like to know.

Hi Ron and Beth and Hope,

I found your blog from Amy's blog. Hope is starting to walk? uh-oh, put everything out of reach. She's so cute, hope to see her again sometime when you all get together. Olivia is doing great also. Changing everyday and getting really comfortable with all of us. They're so much fun aren't they?
