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)

Hope Introduces Her Brother

I think I'll start off my efforts to bring the blog up to date with a bang tonight.  We introduced Hope to her brother on February 4.  She is going to be an amazing big sister!  I watch this over and over and smile from ear to ear with tears running down my cheeks!  I just can't wait to have these two together.

We took a video also when we first showed Hope Luke's picture.  I'm going to see what I can do in iMovie for a bit with that.  I've never really played with the program.  We'll see what I can figure out and then maybe I can share that one, too.

Here are a couple of snapshots we took that morning too.  :)

Ava and I just watched your video and it brought tears to my eyes. We are excited for your family beyond words.
It reminds me of those priceless commercials. Seeing Hopes reaction and when you meet your little man for the first time will be "priceless".

She is so expressive!! I love how she says that Luke is 'cute' and 'adorable' - so wonderful!!! Congrats to the 3 of you on your new addition!

Thank you so much for letting us share your journey. I was SO moved by Hope at the end when she said she would teach him about being kind and that she would read him a book. Watching the love they share is going to be so magical. I'm so happy for your family!
