Gotcha Day

Today we celebrate and rejoice the homecoming of one little China princess. 4 years ago today, I walked into the community welfare center and left with Chun Mei Guan AKA J'Dyn Hope Gillmore. I remember that day like it was yesterday. It amazes me to think that the Lord creates a child half way around the world and knows she is a GILLMORE! He is so good. :) We cannot imagine life without her around. Her laughter and silliness brighten up any day. We are blessed to be called her parents.

Also, I want to remember the families that went with us. We continue to stay connected with the Glor's who adopted a precious child one year younger than J'Dyn. We try to get together as often as we can, but it is not enough. When they talk they call each other by their Chinese names. TOO CUTE! The Williams also went with us. We do not talk as frequently but seem to be old friends when we do. Their daughter is BEAUTIFUL!!! There were other families that were there too. May the Lord bless them and guide them as they care for these babies. Adoption is an amazing journey, a walk in faith, and a blessing far more than expected. YEH for adopted families. We love you!

If anyone is looking for a place to pray for orphaned children, please join us the third Thursday of the month at Graceland. This is adoptive families, in the process of adopting, those on missions to serve orphans, those who pray for orphans, and those that have a passion to care for orphans. Join us please! You will be blessed.
