- Welcome to our little piece of the world wide web! A little about us ~ I am Dawn,and my husband is Jeff. We have five children. When our youngest was 10 we prayed to see if our family was complete, we were prompted to adopt. (How grateful we are that we listened to that prompting) We returned from China in January 2010 with our daughter FAITH who is now 5 years old. This is our blog "Faith in Every Footstep." Now that we are home, I use this blog to record our family adventures and daily school pictures of our little peanut! Enjoy~
Faith's Chinese name is SiSi. The character Si means "to think, consider"
Born not from our flesh but born in our hearts you were longed for,wanted and loved from the start!

Boy Girl, you have some energy or are just plain crazy!! I have not even posted to the blog yet, let alone done a slide show. Our girls have been up in the middle of the night. We are foregoing naps today in hopes they will sleep through the night. I'm tired of being up from 2am to 6am. Can I get some of the pictures from the Great Wall and Bird's Nest, when our camera had died??
ReplyDeleteSo glad you guys made it home without too many incidents!!
Blessings, Sandy
I am a puddle....loved watching this!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful journey...your posts have been amazing...love to all!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, I have loved following your journey and I'm so glad you are all home safe and sound! When she's ready I would love to have Faith over for a play date with Brooklyn. I have been showing Brooklyn the pictures from your blog and letting her know she has a new friend named Faith. I'm so happy for you all!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You can see all the love in the kids eyes. You are so blessed. Now that I'm a puddle of tears, I'll try to get on with my day.

I've been inspired following your journey. And I was fine until I watched your slideshow today and it got to the part of your beautiful children holding your newest beautiful child. What a marvelous family you have!
ReplyDeleteIt was your you're blog title that brought me to your site. "Faith in Every Footstep" made me realize we have much in common. We truly feel led too...

We have been living vicariously through your journey in hopes ours will come some day soon. My wife and I would look forward to finishing up dinner and logging in to see if you had any updates and new photos! It's funny how you can have so much joy for complete strangers. You're posts and blogs were/are great. We both wish you much happiness with your new expanded family! Warmest Regards, Paul and Linda.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations you guys! I have followed a little bit and am so happy she is finally with you! Absolutely loved the slide show! I can't wait to meet her at church. Thank you so much for posting and letting us see and feel a little of your joy. Lynea
