“Just In Case”

Linny Saunders6 Comments

We are heading to the one year anniversary of meeting Vern and Birdie (can you believe it??) and bringing them home and what better time to share a beautiful Memorial Box story of what God did while we were in China. Some very crazy-only-God-sized miracles happened while there and each time something happened it was…

China Friends

What an amazingly cool story there is to share today.  The Lord is so good! Several years ago, through another adoptive mom, I heard about an amazing Irish young man who went often to serve the orphans of China.  Soon we became FB friends and before long we began to exchange emails as he desperately…

Just like a birth child, there is a joyful thrill to the soul of every adoptive parent when the treasure they bring home experiences a “first”. Which reminds me, I had to take Vern somewhere the other day  in Dw’s little car.  I put the windows down (love my Arizona!) and he was leaning, with…

Well we’ve done a ton of dancing this week, slowly, slowly, slowly.  We hadn’t gone anywhere except the park and church until yesterday when we were able to go to a Prayer Rally downtown and join 6,700 other Christians praying for our nation.  It was amazing and like a friend of mine, I couldn’t see…

Oh me.  Was I ever sick.   Thank you for praying! We had our Consulate Appointment yesterday morning and I came back shivering and literally crawled into bed where I slept till this morning.  18 hours of sleep and the fever has broke. Sweet Vernon.  He was so very concerned and stroked my hair while…

How About A Little Jumping Up and Down?

Saturday we flew to Guangzhou, China for the final leg of our journey. This is the place where all the US Immigration paperwork and medical appointment stuff is accomplished and our new treasures are issued a VISA to enter our country.  There is also a Consulate Appointment where they will be sworn in as citizens…
