Announcing Our Newest Blessing- It's a Girl!





Yes, we are adopting again! We are so excited, overwhelmed, and amazed!! Excited and amazed by God's handiwork in the lives of our children. Overwhelmed at the tremendous amount of paperwork involved! We are naming her Joy Menqian and she is 8years old and lives in southern China. Grace and Faith will be traveling with us this time.... so please pray for lots of things but for now just the preparation of paperwork and hearts in ALL of our lives. It will be difficult for Joshua and Isaac to be left out of the trip even though I know they'll have a memorable time here. Well, I'll be posting more soon I'm sure since it seems the only time I get into blogging is when we're adopting or their is a major holiday. Thank you in advance for all of your prayers for God's work to be done in our family's life!

If you would like to help with our adoption financially we would welcome and be grateful for the support. We look forward to seeing how God will provide and are reminded that with God all things are possible. We are looking for construction jobs that Clayton can do for a little extra income, selling things at yard sales, and mowing some yards in our neighborhood for our builder. If you know of anyone that needs something done feel free to give them our contact information. If you would like to support us and receive a tax deduction you can go to Kingdom Kids website and their link is in the sidebar.

We are set up with this non profit organization and can obtain the support designated to us at any time. Again, we are so grateful for you prayers and support. We can't wait to bring Joy Menqian home!

I'm so grateful and thrilled she has a family now! A friend shared this with me. We had thought at one time she was for us, but God had other plans for us.... A Son!
My 5 1/2 year old just loved her photos and had hoped she would be her sister. We are so happy that you have chosen her for yours!
Feel free to follow our journey, and I would be honored if we could follow yours.

Hopefully future friend,
Lesa

She looks like she is going to fit right in with your family! What a sweet smile, and she looks very spunky and fun.

We just brought home our fifth child (a seven-year-old), and we feel so blessed to have added her to our crew. I'll be praying that you have a smooth journey through the paperwork, an easy trip to China and home and a sweet transition.
