"By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours. An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary. They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for; received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full. Love is meant to be shared." Author unknown

Adopting from China by Kailey

Our 8 year old daughter, Kailey, wrote the following at school last month for a writing assignment:

*********************

Do you like babies?  If so you would like this story.  My family looked at the computer for a new family member. They found a little boy.  A couple days later they found another little boy. We got them from China.  We brought them home in ******.

My mom looked on the computer and saw them. My mom and dad had to sign a lot of papers. It happened on November 17th and 19th.

She is such a sweet girl who has taken quite a liking and motherlyness to her new little brothers. I am touched by how often she writes about our adoption experiences. It is neat to see the process through her eyes.

Hope you enjoy it!
