We also request your prayers for her brothers and sister, Nathan, Emily and Ryan as they stay here getting things ready to welcome their precious mei mei home! We can’t wait to be a family of six!

Letters From the Kids to Their New Sister

Dear Lia,
Hi it's your big brother Nate. I'm very excited for you to come home. We've been praying for you every morning and I can't wait for you to play with us. I've been thinking about you a lot and I hope we have lots of fun together. I just did a project in school called Christmas around the world. I picked China because we we're adopting you and I want you to know Santa Clause brings us presents in America. One of his elves even lives in our house at Christmas time. Lia, I love you very much and I promise to help you through the rough times. I will always protect you and keep you safe.
Love your big brother,
Nate

Hi Lia,

It's your big sister Emily. I wish that you could just come home tomorrow. I love you soooooo much. I can't wait for you to see our new room and to play Barbies! I've always wanted a little sister to play girl stuff with. We are going to have so much fun.

Love,
Emily

Lia,

I really really love you and I wish you could come home today. I really want you to play hide and seek with me. I wish you could watch sponge bob with me today. I wish you could see my big sister because she's very sweet. I can't wait to do popcorn movie night with you in our family!

Love,
Ryan

KISSES IN THE WIND

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.
You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.
But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...
Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.
I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.
But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.
And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Legacy of an Adopted Child

Once there were two women who never knew each other.
One you do not remember, the other you call Mother.

Two different lives shaped to make you one.
One became your guiding star; the other became your sun.

The first one gave you life, and the second taught you to live it.
The first one gave you love. The second was there to give it.

One gave you a nationality. The other gave you a name. One gave you a talent. The other gave you aim.

One gave you emotions. The other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile. The other dried your tears.

One sought for you a home that she could not provide.
The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.

And now you ask me, through your tears, the age old question unanswered through years.

Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?

Neither, my darling. Neither.
Just two different kinds of Love.
