We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God's very own hands. ~Kristi Larson

Shen Keke is a beautiful 2 ½ year old little girl who is living in the Guangdong province not too far from Hong Kong. We are told that she likes to look at books, play with blocks, and eat crackers. Very much like her brothers and sister. She is said to be shy, timid, and is fairly introverted. Very much unlike her brothers and sister. :) When we come home, we will probably slowly introduce her to our extended family and friends because everything will be such an enormous adjustment for her.

We had been praying and waiting for that day we would receive our referral call. Little did we know just how soon it would come. On Tuesday, May 13, 2008, we got “the call” from our agency, months before we anticipated! God has perfect timing and we trust in His plan for our family.

We have no idea when we will travel, but anticipate going to China this fall.

Please pray for our Maeve. She is already her own person, with her own likes and dislikes, friends and caregivers, and personality. We will be taking her away from everything familiar to her and plunging her into a ready made family. She will likely be scared, grieving, and angry with us. Pray that she bonds with us quickly and someday is as happy to be with us, as we are to be with her. We are definitely the lucky ones.
