Our journey in faith to adopt this little boy Josiah from China

Josiah, or Yang Heng Hai, was an orphan from China who is a wonderful, patient, sweet, and ingenious little boy who was in need of a family. We felt the Lord calling us to bring this beautiful child into our family, and He provided beautifully. Some people would call Josiah a special needs child. Others, a child with special needs. To us he is just special. Josiah was born without the use of either of his arms and had 2 club feet. However, Josiah has been able to overcome these things and do many amazing things.

Quick Update

Just wanted to provide a quick update as to where we are at in the process. We sent off our I-800a which was received by the USCIS on 12/29/10. When I sent them an email inquiring about our fingerprint appointment, they stated that it went out in the mail yesterday 1/18/11. I can't believe how long this process is taking, and believe me I know there are people out there that have taken years longer. It is hard knowing Josiah is over there in need of a family and we are dealing with paperwork here and it is looking like it wont be until August before we are able to even have a chance to go get him. I know that all things are going to happen in God's timing and I am ready for anything, but we love Josiah very much and can't hardly wait to hold him in our arms and bring him home to his new family. We also applied for the girls passports last week, which we should receive in about 4 weeks. Please keep praying that the Lord will provide the finances necessary to complete this adoption and that the time will go by quickly for all parties involved :) On a side note, we did apply to Show Hope for adoption assistance, so please be praying about that as well.

In His Service,

Brian
