Introducing Our Third Hunan Princess: Jaidyn Grace!

We are so happy and proud to introduce our third Hunan Princess! We have received our official PA (pre-approval) and now the Paper Chase begins! We have known about this precious princess from the time that we brought home our first daughter, Jordyn, from China. She was the oldest little girl and we knew about the other two older girls from pictures that Jordyn came home with. We prayed for the two girls to find their forever families. I had a secret wish that we could keep the girls together. Jordyn would tell stories abut her friends when she was able to speak English. How my heart was burdened for them. Jordyn told how sad she was during her last night at the orphanage and how they cried together. She told her close freind that "maybe her mommy from America would adopt her too." God heard that secret conversation and through miracles upon miracles we brought home the second Hunan Princess, Jailynn. We visited Jordyn and Jailynn's orphanage and schools during our last journey to China to bring Jailynn home and during that visit we met the third little princess. We said hello to her, hugged her, and watched as she greeted her two friends. She seemed so happy to see Jordyn again as it had been about 2.5 years since she had seen her. She gave her a big hug and told her that she had gotten big! We only had a breif visit with her and then it was time to say goodbye. Words cannot express how sad we were to leave her behind. We wanted to bring her home too! We kept her in our hearts and prayers. I was almost certain that we would not adopt again and began to pray for God to send her a forever family. God had other plans...We are her forever family!
