This is the place where we are have documented the road we have walked in order to adopt our four children from Brazil and the road we are now on as a family. We are keenly aware that adopting is not just a process we've chosen to go through, but part of God's plan for us and for our children. May He be glorified through the process and through our family!

Mexican Vacation

We arrived home yesterday from a 5-day vacation to Mexico--Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. Oh, how we love living in Latin American cultures! We were hosted in Guadalajara by a the beautiful Mora-Mañon family who made us feel right at home in Mexico's second-largest city. We stopped in many bookstores thinking of the empty bookshelf in our child's future room and bought our first child's first books: a Children's Bible and a World Atlas for Children.

Visiting Mexico confirmed our desire to raise our children knowing and loving many cultures and speaking Spanish. It also affirmed our desire to be a part of a Latin American culture and spend time visiting and living abroad. We have so many big dreams for our life and for our family! All are in the Lord's hands and he will carry us through.
