Our China LID Anniversary Comes and Goes

Our three year LID anniversary for China passed on April 23rd. Who would've imagined in 2007 that we would complete TWO adoptions and still not be close to being matched to a baby from China. I continue to have very mixed feelings about ever completing an adoption from China. Now that China is a Hague country (a good thing!), we would have a hard time re-doing our home study. You have to have background clearances from every place you've lived since you turned 18. For Brad, that would include the time he lived in Spain. Can you even imagine trying to get a background clearance from a small town in Spain?? So, it's my belief that we'll never do China. That makes me a little sad because we thought our first adoption would be from there and we dreamed about our Lily. However, God sent us down a different path and we wouldn't trade it for the world! It brought us to our Zeke and will bring us to Quilla. We rejoice in the twists and turns of this journey. There hasn't been a dull moment!
