Two years ago

It has been two years since Steve and I first received that long awaited phone call from Bethany. I still remember being at work and the phone rang and across the caller i.d. screen came the name Bethany Christian Services and my heart skipped a beat. What a wonderful day July 31, 2006 was and will always be for us. Our lives have never been the same!!! We are a forever family.



Referral photo

This photo was on the CCWI yahoo group site. A family who had visited the orphanage in July 2006 took this and posted it. How precious for us.

July 2007 - silly girl

July 2008 - still silly and a true delight.

We are truly grateful to God who we know handpicked this precious little girl for us. He knew all along and we thank Him daily for such a wonderful gift.

What a great blog. I remember so well the phone call, telling us of our little Anna. I am amazed that before this precious little girl was born, our Heavenly Father knew she would come to our family, an amazing thought. Anna I also think that your Papa was smiling from Heaven when we heard the news, he would have loved you so much. You are truly a gift. Beth and Steve you are great parents, Anna you bring our family such joy. MomMom loves you soooo much, you are my Sugar Dumplin
