We look forward to an exciting and beautiful journey to Julianne! Before I leave, I just want to say thank you to EVERYONE for your unconditional love and support throughout this whole process, especially in these last few extremely hectic weeks to help make all of this possible. Your support and love have helped me tremendously in more ways than you will ever realize. I especially want to thank my sister Amy, and her family for sacrificing time this summer to help me make this dream come true. I know Julianne will not be losing a family in China, but instead gaining another one through community built of family and friends. I received this quote today in an email and couldn’t believe the timing, so I will leave you all with these words:

“In our efforts to be human, God does not leave us to fend for ourselves…. In community—communion—we are reminded that everything is possible.”
