One guess…

and a big ol’ smile,


first thing this morning.

More pictures of the big day to come, just had to share these with y’all.

    Hi there, I have been a “lurker” for several years now. First found out about you through PW when you went to their ranch. Anyhow, I was recently doing a google image search of Gutian Orphanage and came across your photo when you adopted your son Jude. It took me a moment to put two and two together before I recongnized you from your blog. My wife and I adopted our second daughter from Gutian in 2009 and our little Kate was also special needs with a heart condition. We also made the trip from Fuzhou to Gutian back in 2009.

    Totally off topic of what your current blog post is about, but wanted to say “hi” and tell you that we love reading about your family and seeing how all the kiddos are doing. We now have our third daughter home (last year) and have to say we are now complete. We live in Idaho, but always great to find families with children from a common beginning.

    All the best,
    Lynn

a dirty secret in adoption
we don't celebrate gotcha day
there's no such thing as an easy adoption
if I can, you can.
co-sleeping, why we do it.
