I love the Bakers. Nicole and I met almost 5 years ago (which equals forever in the real world) when we were waiting in the NSN line for a referral. Nicole and I both had a strong sense that our children were not waiting for us in the NSN, but rather the SN, line. We became sisters bonded through a shared love of and burden for special needs children in China.
Fast forward to 2009, Nicole and her family have grown by 3, and now they are awaiting travel for their precious Ava. If you haven’t read Ava’s story, you need to. It is so big and so beautiful, only God could author something like this.
Then, after you’ve read her incredible story, become part of this God-sized journey and help this family bring this precious child home. At last.
Beautiful story, and thank you for posting it, I look forward to watching their journey.
Love and blessings, Kristy
Only God! What a wonderful story of His faithfulness!
Thanks for sharing this awesome story. I'm so looking forward to the tales I can tell about our next journey. Someday. Hopefully sooner than later?
Thanks also for sweet comment on my blog post today. Some days it's a two steps forward one step back kind of journey but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I tell everyone, she's the best thing our family ever did together 🙂
So glad you posted this! 🙂 I was in the Civil Affairs office when Ava was brought to her 'first' adoptive family and was so heartbroken for her when I heard they had sent her back to the orphanage. A few months later, someone connected me to the Bakers and I heard the end of the story. Only God!!! So amazing!!! I can't wait until they get that sweet peanut into their arms!
