Hi,
We are a family of 4 that has adopted once previously from China. We’ve decided to add to our family again, and this time from the Congo.
Our blog will be about the process, help keep friends and family informed of progress, and provide opportunities for people to help. Additionally, we’ll have links to provide additional information about adoption, particularly as a picture of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Cast of Characters:
Steve- raised in southern NH, he is a life-long New England sports fan (please don’t hold that against him). He became a Christian while attending Boston University in the mid-80’s. In the early 1990’s Steve moved to Florida where he studied to become a pastor. He was the pastor of a church in Winter Haven from 1998-2007. He is now the pastor of a church in Arizona.
Amie- (the adult in the header) grew up in northern NJ. She spent about 10 years as an adult living and working in upstate NY before returning to NJ to teach at a Christian school. Mutual friends in FL introduced her to Steve in 2001. They were married by the end of the year. She’s a stay-at-home mom and teaches aerobics on the side. She traveled to China with one of her best friends to bring Elijah home.
Jadon- (the spunky blond-haired girl in the header) is our child by birth. She was born in FL and survived 3 hurricanes in utero. She loves her brother by adoption, and wants another sibling or two.
Elijah- our Chinese charmer. He was born in Southeast China and is our child by adoption. He has learned to use those dimples to wrap many an adult around his fingers.
