Psalm 126:3

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.

The Gift of Life

I didn't give you the gift of life, But in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, As if it had been so. For us to have each other, Is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you The gift of life, Life gave me the gift of you.

Finding Ad

A few weeks ago, Gayle was reading an adoption blog and came across a family that had ordered their daughter's finding ad. In China, children found and brought to an orphanage have a finding ad placed in the provincial newspaper. The ad includes a picture of the child and information of where and when they were found. For an adopting family its the earliest picture you can get of your child.

Today we received Anna's ad. It was sobering that there were 40 ads for found children in the July 16, 2007 provincial newspaper. Gayle and I are guessing Anna to be about 2-3 months old at the time of her finding ad photo.

We can hardly wait to get our arms around her!









For interested families I'm attaching a link to the website we ordered Anna's ad.

Hope everyone's dug out from the snow.

See ya,

Matt
