You've gotta have Faith

As most of you already know, there are no guarantees with international adoption. You have to have a lot of faith to take on an international adoption. You must have faith in the process, faith in your agency, and most importantly-faith in God! All of this faith is built up in believing that the right child-YOUR child- will eventually find their way home to your family.

This second adoption journey has definitely tested our faith in all of these areas. However, our faith has grown, our faith has strengthened, and our faith is continuing to carry us through. So without further delay, it is my pleasure to announce the referral of our newest addition to the Straight family:

Miss Faith Leeann Straight!

We are very excited and honored to be lucky enough to have been blessed with another little girl from China. She is only 12 months old right now and waiting for us in the Guangdong Province. We hope to have her home just in time for Christmas!! We are so very blessed :)
