I would have never dreamed that we would still be waiting for our daughter 4 years after we had our initial meeting at Bethany Christian Services. I am reminded so often that God is not on our schedule. He continues to remain faithful to us as we wait. And as I have said before, we wait with HOPE. That is what we cling to and is what we have clung to since God took Kyler to heaven. It's the hope that is found in Jesus that keeps us going when we want to give up.
Please continue to pray with us as we wait to bring our daughter, Kylie Hope, home from China. Adoption is all about Jesus. God has knitted or will be knitting Kylie in the womb of her birth mother while knowing all along that she will be our daughter, our REAL daughter. God's plans are truly amazing and we have so much to praise Him for. The past nearly six years have been really difficult at times, but it's been through those times that we have grown stronger and depended more on the Lord.
Thank you all for your love and prayers, and for always asking whether we have any news about Kylie. Please pray for Kylie and ALL the orphans around the world to get into a loving family so they will have someone to tell them they are loved.
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6).

Romans 8:15-17
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption. And by him we cry 'Abba, Father.' The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."
