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.

Last Post from Guangzhou

Our family is getting packed and ready to get on the train to Hong Kong.  We spent the last three days here in Guangzhou swimming, dining, shopping and relaxing with our newly formed friends.  Our adoption is complete, and Jonathan Wang Jian becomes a US citizen as soon as the wheels touch down in Detroit.  While Wang Jian has not rejected me, he has selected Steve to be his preferred parent.  That is a logical act of loyalty, for a child who was so close to his foster mother. 








I am so excited to come home to the rest of the family.  I'm sure this will be my last post before we unite at the airport.  I have posted a few pictures of our little travel group, before we said our goodbyes.  See you soon America!!

    Have faith. I cried for him, and you, thinking of his pain, but I pray he will soon find peace and understanding. No doubt he has the courage to face his new life. No doubt that you will find a way to help him find his way. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
