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)

Emilee

Dear family, friends, and fellow bloggers - I'm asking for more prayers. On Tuesday (19th) of this week, there was a very tragic school bus accident in southern MN that took the lives of 4 young students. This beautiful girl was 9 yrs. old. She was adopted through the same agency that we used and joined her family from Anhui Province in 1999. Please take a moment to ponder her picture here, read a bit about her life, and pray for her family and all those who've been affected by this tragedy.

Here is an article that sort of sums up the accident. It should have never ever happened. The driver of the van that collided with the bus was unlicensed. So SAD!

Thank You! - Beth

Oh Beth!! This is so horrible!! I've had this pit in my stomach since this accident happened...and then the anger set in when I heard that the driver shouldn't have been driving in the first place!! So much tragedy. Emilee's family is definitely in my prayers.

Oh no, no , no - this never should have happened. We will lift her family and certainly keep them close to our hearts. I am so sad for this tragedy.
