Longing for a child to love,
I’d wish upon the stars above.
In my heart I always knew
A part of me was meant for you.
I think how happy we will be,
Once I adopt you, and you adopt me.
I dream of all the joy you’ll bring,
Imagining even the littlest things.
The way it will feel to hold you tight,
And tuck you in every night.
The drawing on the refrigerator door,
And childhood toys across the floor.
The favorite stories read again and again,
And hours of games with make-believe
friends.
The day you took my outstretched hand,
A journey ended, but our lives began.
Still mesmerized by your sweet face,
Still warmed inside by our first embrace.
I promised to give you a happy home,
And a loving family all your own.
A house you’ve now made complete,
With laughter, smiles, and tiny feet.
A parent is one who guides the way,
Know I will be there everyday.
Rest easy as each night you sleep,
A lifetime of love is yours to keep.
Longing for a child to love,
I’d wish upon the stars above.
In my heart I always knew
A part of me belonged to you.

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break.

Dear Friends,
Mia is now home and is doing great. She is such a joy and we cannot imagine life without her. Please click on Journey
to Mia to read about our China experience or Home Updates to see updated photos of our angel each month.
We are so thankful to CCAI and the Chinese government for giving us such a magnificent gift. Thanks to them! To find

I am still selling red, silicone bracelets debossed with the words "RED THREAD" to symbolize the Chinese belief that a
red thread connects those destined to meet in life. I also added a Chinese character for "family":
There is a photo of the bracelet below. I sold them as a fundraiser to help pay for part of Mia's adoption expenses and
am now raising money to begin the adoption of Mia's little sister! I also used some of the money to purchase a bunch of
formula, bottles, clothes, and toys for Mia's orphanage. Thanks to all who bought a bracelet! Click on Bracelet
