Back to Mongolia We Go!!!

Once you travel to pick up your precious treasure, we believe you are changed forever. Those of you who have taken this journey know exactly what we are talking about. On January 1, 2007 we met our Mongolian Princess, Maiah Nandin-Erdene Petrin. We fell in love with her and her country as it is a part of who she will always be. It has been quite an amazing journey, one that is on going. You ask why?? We are forever changed by this sweet, innocent 4 year old girl. She has brought us revelation of the Fathers Heart and has turned every room in our home into a playroom:)(If you are not familiar with our journey to Maiah, please feel free to check out "Maiah's Journey Home" in the Links section of this blog). However, it was not long after returning home with her that the images of many of the faces we left behind were stirring in our hearts and minds. We knew that the Lord had another child for us in Mongolia. We have submitted our application, done our homestudy and now are putting together our dossier (a lot of paperwork telling Mongolia that we will take good care of another one of their children). We are excited to be on the adoption journey again and can't wait to see the little face that the Lord has for us:) We are glad to have the love and support of all our family and friends. We thank you so much for praying our family through this amazing journey of joy and tears, hurry up and wait, and wait some more.
