IT'S OFFICIAL!!!
We are beginning the process of adopting our 4th child!!! -- and our first international adoption. We are thrilled to be starting this new and exciting journey!! Our lil guy/gal is likely already waiting for us!
We will be adopting from China using a local agency, Families Thru International Adoption (FTIA). We submitted our application yesterday and it was approved today!
The earthquake in Haiti had a tremendous impact on us. Seeing those orphaned children and wanting so badly to help. We knew at that point -- we have enough love and means to bring another child into our home. Sadly, adopting from Haiti is currently not an option and the program is burdened with many legal hurdles and unknowns.
Soon, we began researching other international adoption programs and China clearly stood out. The Waiting Child/Special Needs program in China appears the most stable and there are nearly 2,000 "orphaned" children currently on the list. One may be our child!! We are open to either sex and a child at least 12-18 months younger than Jack. Let the journey begin!!!
