Hi everyone..this is Liz!! I hope everyone had a blessed holiday!

Well...we wanted to share with everyone that we have filled out paperwork for special needs adoption. I had a lot of misconceptions about special needs. When I researched it, I realized they were not true. The big one is that I read that if you put in for special needs then you were pulled out of non special needs. AHH told me you do not make a complete switch until you choose a child. That has helped broaden our options!

Our family adovate emailed us last week and said China still was not giving them any answers on what referral group we are with. In fact, they told them not to ask again. I think they got up on the wrong side of the bed! :)

Please pray for the Steven Curtis Chapman family. My heart has been hurting for them with the loss of their daughter. Martin and I received a grant from their assistance program, Shaohannah's Hope, for our adoption. We are very thankful for their ministry and their love for orphans. The link is on our blog.
