United States - Monday, September 15, 2008 8:28 PM CDT Got any tissue laying around I think I'm all out your story touched my heart and I think I cried every line I read Wendy Kelly <kellyadoption@yahoo.com> Aiken, Sc usa - Sunday, June 11, 2006 8:46 PM CDT I've just read you adoption story, My sister and her husband are currently in the process of adopting from China as well and I will be going with them. Your story really touched my heart and reminded me that by ourselves we can do nothing but with our Father in Heaven all things are possible and that no matter how rocky the road gets, keep trusting in him (not our own understanding) and he will direct our paths. Thank-you, from a sister in chirst. God bless your family. Lori Bulger <lbulger@pei.sympatico.ca> Summerside, PEI Canada - Sunday, January 1, 2006 5:49 AM CST Sharon and Michael, Thank you so much for sharing your life and story with us. My husband and I also have 4 biological children, and know we have been called by God to adopt. He put it in our hearts last fall after a Steven Curtis Chapman concert. We too do not have the funds to adopt, but are stepping out in faith. It is a constant rollercoaster, and have at times prayed for Him to take away the overwhelming desire if it is not his will. (it only becomes stronger when we do that :)). I cry often, and pray constantly. Your story has been a inspiration and a blessing! We are in the beginning stages of the home study. Please keep us in your prayers. Her name is Chloe. We don't know if she is even born yet, but she has a huge place in our hearts. God Bless you and your family! Kelli Kelli Laughliln <kellilwow@yahoo.com> Canton, SD USA - Saturday, July 30, 2005 2:14 AM CDT I AM PROUD TO BE THE NANA TO LILI AND DELANEY. THEY ARE SO FULL OF LOVE TO GIVE.

Larry & Donna Larner <donna.larner@sbcglobal.net> Lansing, MI U.S.A. - Sunday, April 18, 2004 6:26 PM CDT I just happened to find your story and have to tell you it made me cry tears of happiness for your family. We met our older daughter on Jan 15, 2003 in Guatemala. Only 5 months later, we saw the first pictures of her baby sister. We were planning on waiting for a few years, but God had other plans for our lives. Emily came home to us on Dec 31, 2003. We are so blessed to have our girls, and I hope your family is united soon! Sarah Korodi <sarahdavek@aol.com> Marietta, OH USA - Friday, March 26, 2004 9:28 PM CST Sharon, This is such a wonderful story! Laney and Lili Grace are blessed to have such wonderful parents! Your story has insprired us! we are right now "waiting" for the referral of a healthy infant girl. We are a Nov. DTCer and hope to have a referral by July at the latest. But there is this beautiful little girl, whom we have named Jada and we want to adopt her! I have spoke with the foundation she is currently with and they are going to see to it that we adopt her!! I know this is so risky and I'm afraid we won't be able to bring both girls home. I know we'll bring Emma home first and then wait for our Jada. Your story has inspired me and I'm going to be praying for you.. Here's to a speedy TA and get Lili Grace HOME! Nancy M. <tochina4emma@yahoo.com > Orlando, FL USA - Friday, March 19, 2004 8:22 PM CST Dear Sharon and Michael, As I sit here with tears in my eyes, the love and power of God is so obvious; it's very easy for us in the adoption world to loose sight of that fact. We have started the process for our 3rd China adoption, this time it is a special little boy who is cleft affected 3rd degree. I, too, wonder where the finances will come from, where my energy will come from;) God has planted the seed in my heart. I question His plan, but I know it doesn't do any good to argue about it;)) Reading your story has given me much inspiration, I also stopped along the way to pray for my bountiful blessings. God bless you and your family! A speedy and safe travel for Lilli. Bobi Morey <smcgraw@comcast.net> Grosse Pointe Park, MI USA - Sunday, February 1, 2004 8:15 AM CST Sharon and Michael----Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. We are beginning our first adoption from China and have had doubts & worries. I feel that this decision process has brought us closer to God as we just have to keep turning it over to him and have faith. God knew that your story is just what my husband and I needed to read right now to help us. I wept while I read it and I will pray for you and your family and your precious new daughters. Again thank your for taking the time to post your story. It is an inspiration to those of us who are at the beginning. Our lives are truly blessed through God aren't they. Beth and Troy P.S. Not complaining but the red font kind of makes you go cross eyed and glassy eyed. Troy & Beth Jacob <arkajun@bscn.com> Smithville, AR USA - Saturday, January 31, 2004 3:00 PM CST Michael and Sharon, What a beautiful gift your adoption story is to your girls--they will treasure it forever! The memories we share with you came flooding back to me as I read about "our" journey to China. God has wonderfully knitted us together in a very special way. I hope our girls can keep in touch in the years ahead. We are excited to meet Lilianna soon! Martha Covington <mgcovington@juno.com> Hendersonville, NC USA - Monday, January 19, 2004 7:57 AM CST Can't help being touched. Can't help weeping. God bless your family!
