Why Gates Waits

This beautiful little boy has a few special needs and he is more than two years old. These circumstances often cause equally wonderful children to wait longer than those who are younger than two or of the opposite gender. Our child has us, his family now. So all that's left to wait for is:

Paperwork. The Adoption journey in all conditions requires a great deal of data, forms, certificates and approvals! We are very hopeful to travel to China in May or early June. He will be a year older soon after that. We have his little number candle waiting for that precious first birthday cake! Birthday cakes are not a Chinese tradition, but one we enjoy very much here in the U.S. We just don't like the idea of him spending another birthday without us. In faith, we anticipate a joyous homecoming before then!

Next Level Church would be a great way to raise the banner high. Come on over after Church. Could you hand out flyers that day after Church?
