In the summer of 2004, God opened my eyes to the orphan in China. This was a truly life changing moment for me as I had never even considered adoption before. Never. I, to be brutally honest, thought adoption was for people who were not able to have children biologically. But that all changed when my husband came to me… Read More
update on the Shepster
Several of you guys have asked about Shepherd since my last post, so I thought I’d let all y’all (that just can not be correct) in on what’s going on with the little dude. We got his blood tests back. I swear, it seemed like they tested him for everything on the planet: lead, CBC, iron, HepB, HepC, celiac, and… Read More

special needs: mind your business
Ever really don’t want to write? But feel like you need to? So it’s exhausted, disjointed and painful, and feels like an insanely long dental cleaning? Well, this is one of those times. Don’t necessarily want to say what I gotta say, but feel like it needs to be said. And anyone that knows me will tell you, if I… Read More
Shepherd
Our little guy. Our littl-est guy by a long shot: 24.5 pounds soaking wet. And he’s probably going be smaller than Miss Vivi by the time she gets home. But we’re okay with little. The problem is, he’s not getting bigger. Even my small standards, he’s little. And no matter what we do, he just doesn’t seem to be catching… Read More
calling all proud parents!
It’s time for a change! Rebecca did an amazing job putting together the homepage for No Hands But Ours (although I am, admittedly, a bit biased when it comes to my boys!) But I think now is the perfect time to change things up! I’m ready to see some new faces! How would you like to have your child’s photo… Read More
backing up. the finale.
It was in the midst of all the joy and daisy field carousing that we got an email from our boys’ doctor. The doctor who corrected Jude and Shepherd’s clubfoot. The doctor we absolutely adore and whole-heartedly admire. And he had some serious reservations about this little girl. He wasn’t 100% certain what her condition was, but he said that… Read More
The beans
I’m not gonna lie… this has been really fun. But I really didn’t intend to leave anyone hanging. Chris has been out of town all week, and the kids have been on winter break. Need I say more? Kids home all day + no husband = absolutely NO downtime. Throw in all the bribery Valentine candy my kids have been… Read More
My Chinese son
I have 5 sons and 3 daughters. When we started for Isabelle in 2004, we had 3 sons and 1 daughter. So it was a logical conclusion that we would be going to China for a girl. I guess I never put much thought into it, a daughter it was to be from the start. Sophie, who came home next,… Read More
