Here he is

Due to some agency rules I've had to take the picture of Ty off the internet. If you would like to see him email me and I'll send you the picture. dszkwalling@kingwoodcable.com

We have some exciting news to share. We are in the process to adopt another child. We will likely be returning to China next summer to bring home a sweet little boy. He is currently two years old and is 11months younger than Mia. So by the time we travel he will have just turned three. His name is Tao Yun and we will likely call him Ty. Ty was born with a cleft lip and palate but was surgically corrected last year. He is considered Special needs because of this fact. Most China adoptions take about 2 years now, but because of his special needs classification we will probably be able to adopt him in 9 - 13 months.

Since the day Mia was placed in our arms we felt strongly that we would adopt again. We really weren't sure when or how but lately God has really shown us that the time is now. We are being obedient to His call and the way all the circumstances just keep working out leads us to a place where we know this is ordained by God. Just one quick example is that before we knew his Chinese name we had decided that we would like to name him Ty. And then when we opened the email with his medical information we noticed that his name is Tao Yun. I don't think there are mere coincidences where God is concerned.

We look forward to introducing the newest member of the Walling crew to all of you next summer. All the kids are so excited and can't wait to see him.
Please keep us in your prayers as we go through the next few months of paperwork. With this type of adoption everything goes a little faster and we pray that it will go lightning fast. The sooner he can come home the better
