This is a story about our little prince, "Jonathan Wang Jian", a handsome little boy, who lives far away in Inner Mongolia, China; bordering the mountains, grasslands and the Gobi desert. It is a story of a young boy, who plays and lives amongst his friends and nannies...........................the only family he has ever known. This is a story of a sweet, intelligent boy, born with bilateral foot differences.....yet determined to walk and run.......his little feet likely the reason he was orphaned. This story includes the sad reality that in many countries, birth families are frequently unable to provide the medical and rehabilitative care thier babies will need to lead independent lives. This is our heartfelt compassion for the selfless birth parents, who face the greatest pain they will ever know........ to relinquish themselves as parents so their tiny babies can get the desperate care they need. These are our unspoken prayers to every birth family who aches. ...... And this is a story of our brave little " Mongolian Warrior Prince", who leaves his own set of unique footprints............ just beyond the Great Wall.

Dear Little Jonathan Wang Jian, we dream of the day we can hold you in our arms and call you our forever son. By the grace of God, you will soon know what it means to have a family of your very own.

It is fabulous to see how Wang Jian has made a fast friendship, with my friend's daughter. They sit in the back of the bus, laughing, cutting up and playing. He understands they are not a part of our family, and they live in China. However, having a Chinese speaking friend really helps his homesickness in his present state.

My friend and guide, Susan, has invited me to stay with her family in their Beijing home. She has asked me to please consider staying with her after the adoption proceedings are finished, so I can help her in a Hunan orphanage. Of course, there is no possible way to do this since we need too get home to our family. One day, after I have enough PTO saved up, we take her up on the offer.
