A day to celebrate!!


This weekend we received some wonderful news from China. We have been sponsoring a child thru Half the Sky's Little Sisters program, at the orphanage where Kenli spent her first 13 months. We have provided a half the sky nanny for "our baby Rui" so she might have the much needed contact and attachment to someone. We have spent the past 9 months praying and thinking and talking about "our baby Rui". We are overjoyed to announce that she has been adopted and is now home with her forever family. It brought tears to my eyes as I remembered those first few days with Kenli, and now knowing that baby Rui will never again have to spend even one day wondering what her future would hold. She is now learning what it feels like to BELONG to a forever family. We have now been assigned another baby in the Chenzhou orphanage, her name is baby Ru and she is 16 months old. Please help us pray that this baby will be kept safe, warm, and healthy and will also soon know the love of a forever family.

We love your new blog!!! We didn't know you were sponsering babies in China. How wonderful! I cannot imagine how excited you felt when you heard about Baby Rui being adopted. That is just wonderful. We cannot wait to keep up with Kenli and her keepers through this blog!
Love you bunches,

Oh - I love hearing that baby Rui was adopted! That is so awesome that you sponsor kids from there - I love that you do that - and THANK YOU for doing that! I love the name Rui - since of course that is our sweet girl's middle name. Ru is a cute name, too. All these little girls are so precious! I love your new blog, too. I am only a month late in finding it - but I'm here now!
