Love From Afar
A family's love for a child begins long before his or her first breath is taken. Our love for Paige began in September of 2004 when we signed the adoption application with Children's Hope International.
Long before Paige was born, her waiting family (Kevin, Carla, Chelsea and Haley) began to pray and prepare for her journey home. Many months, even years, have passed since the application was approved. Birth and marriage certificates were ordered. Passports renewed, seminars attended, documents notarized, certified and authenticated, all as a part of the journey to bring our baby Paige home.
As we mailed our completed dossier to CHI and then on to China in September of 2005, we began to wonder where our little Paige could be. Is she still developing in the womb of her birth mother? Is she being cared for in an orphanage? Is her little ears hearing sounds that will always remind her of her culture? How long will it take to bring her home? All of those questions, could only be answered over time.

Carla and Kevin,
She is so precious!! I love the videos of her. You can just tell that she is right where God intended her to be with both of you. I can't wait to see her flourish with all the love she gets from you and the rest of your family. You will be chasing her around in no time.
I will be praying for a safe journey home and a very happy homecoming with her sisters.
Love, Michelle
