There is a girl.
She is 11 years old, healthy, and lives in a faraway land called China.
She became an orphan at the age of 7 years old.
She was found alone in a market area with only a denim jacket and pink backpack.
A homeless center cared for her until she was 8 years old when she entered the Chengdu orphanage.

She is beautiful.
She wants a Mom and a Dad...A forever family.

She is a child of God.
Are we called to be her Mom and Dad? Her forever family?
Or do we turn away and pretend we don't SEE??????????
These are the things Shon and I contemplate.
We have been given much and have much to give.
Or are we just CRAZY????!!!!!!
CRAZY INDEED! Crazy in love with this girl we call "Our" Daughter.
A girl named Yan Ping.
A child we can't wait to have in our arms to love and care for...
FOREVER!
We hope to be welcoming Yan Ping into our family late Summer 2012!
Hi Trish,
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-love (Lisa Wistuba) gave me your blog site.
I noticed that you are adopting an 11year old girl from Chengdu SWI.
We just brought home a 14 year old girl from Chengdu in August. When I showed her your daughter she said she knows her. How fun!
We will be following your journey to Yan Ping!! So excited for you!
We will need to meet sometime and get the girls together.
Blessings!!
