I was doing some research online about adoptions and came across this table of statistics on adoptions from China to the US. I must be very emotional today because this was just so profound to me. My baby is so much more than a number...but that little number "1" at the end of 3400 is my daughter. She is my world, she is our world. I wish more people would realize how amazing adoption is. Her life has changed several lives for the better, and her gift to us is priceless. How glad I am that we were determined enough to pursue what was in our hearts. We love you Faith Hengsi Brown.

My heart is right with yours!! Our Hengyang babies brought the nations in to our homes. There is no way to describe the blessings that come to us through the simple obedience, the simple faith, the hope and trust in making one less orphan! Everyone says how lucky they are, if they only knew how lucky we are! Happy early Birthday sweet Faith.
