She's Here!





Let us introduce you to our daughter, Ella Claire! We are so thrilled to have her with us finally. Ella has curly hair! Amazing! She is not quite so thrilled to be with us - and that is an understatement! It's sad to see her so confused and upset. Her whole world has been turned upside down. She pulls her blanket over her head and screams that she wants to go home! But all of this is good when you put it in perspective - it means she knows what it means to belong somewhere and she will attach to us soon. We are so thankful to finally have our arms around both of our Chinese daughters! Can't wait to wrap up all four in one hug!

  1. Ohhhhhhh....A picture is definitely worth a thousand words! I am so mad at myself ! I set my alarm for 2AM to be awake for the arrival of Ella...and slept right thru it. All of you are missed and I have you wrapped up in prayer.

  7. Congratulations!!! She is so beautiful. That crying breaks my heart. Been there. I know you have too. Was she in foster care or just really in love with her caretakers? Praying for all of you as you get acquainted!!
