Some Great News!

I'm not sure why I didn't think of this sooner, but I decided to try to find some information on Winn's orphanage online. I found a Yahoo Group specifically for parents who have adopted, or are adopting, children from that orphanage. I'm still waiting to be approved to join the group, but I did find out that his orphanage is the number one rated orphanage in all of China!! There are hundreds of orphanages in China. What a blessing to know that he comes from the best (as orphanages go)! It probably won't make it any easier for him to adjust to a family, but at least he's been well taken care of and has had enough to eat and maybe was given an opportunity to learn some English. I've heard horror stories of children who have been beaten and tied to furniture and starved and victimized. Thanking God for this wonderful news today.

      Thank you, Jean! Winn is at Zhongshan CWI in Guangdong.

      I've been following along on Luke's surgery. What a sweetheart! I hope he's doing well!

      Take care!

    Colleen,
    Yes, we are considering full-time missions. We will most likely take the 11-month training course at TMM in the next year or two. We will see how life goes once Ashlyn gets here first! :)
    I hope everything is moving along smoothly with your adoption!
    Love,
    Rebecca
