Why are you adopting AGAIN?
I get that question a lot...maybe not in words but many times in looks. It's a look that has a small bit of pity and a large bit of "she's crazy" in it with a tad of "glad it's you and not me"
It's a hard question to answer in words... but When God calls you to adoption, you get a glimpse of His heart... He sends you to those His heart is broken for. God breaks your heart for what breaks His and He puts a deep love in your heart for them as you begin to see them through His eyes.
My heart is now broken for the orphan, so how can I NOT go when given the opportunity?
I look at two of my children daily and wonder...what if?

So excited for you guys! Can't wait to meet sweet Johanna and get to know her. What a blessing for your family. Looking forward to keeping up with your adventure in China on the blog! Love, The Odoms
Elaine says: I'll be checking your blog for all of the adventures you guys will have on your trip. Praying for a safe 2 weeks and the trip home with your new little one.
One year ago on Friday, we left for China to pick up Danielle Grace. It hardly seems possible that it was seven years since we were all there the first time, or that an entire year has passed since the last trip. How we wish we could be going with you! Enjoy your trip and be safe! The Glenn family in Indiana
I am usually all teary eyed every time I think about you getting to finally hold sweet Johanna in your arms! I have such admiration for you all! For your love and for your commitment to your call! And I am actually a little jealous that you are going to have another daughter... makes me want more! ;) I'll keep reading your updates here! Looking forward to those few pics of all of you together! Love you all!!!! (and yes... people won't always understand why you do what you do... but that's ok as long as you are pleasing God!) Hugs!
