Help Bring ShayleeJoy Home!

Meet Scott & Sharon, an awesome couple we've enjoyed getting to know over the past couple of years.  They are Savannah's parents (Savannah is Josh's girlfriend, Josh is Zack's brother). So they're practically family as far as we're concerned!

This lovely couple has the privilege and honor of parenting four beautiful girls, 3 of which are homegrown, and one who was born in China. And they have a fifth daughter on the way!  They've been in process for more than 2 years, seeking to adopt from China again. Just this past week, this family accepted a referral of a beautiful 2 1/2 year old. They (and we!) are so very excited as they prepare to welcome ShayleeJoy into their family in just a few short months.

You can help our friends bring their daughter home from China!  Sharon is an amazing seamstress, and she's decided to use some of her work as a way to raise funds to bring their sweet girl home this summer.  She'll also be auctioning other items that are being donated to the auction.  They've started an auction blog and you can visit it at http://ajoyfulheartshay.blogspot.com/.

While on their site, you can also read about how God led them to their daughter, and take a look pictures of the precious child waiting for them in China.

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.
Isaiah 43:5

Sorry Zack isn't a big Disney fan! Josh had only been there once before we got married. It certainly isn't his first vacation pick, but he enjoys going. He likes some of the rides, but he says his favorite part is watching me get all giddy and excited, so I'm sure that he'll love watching Isabel take it all in. If we lived withing driving distance like you guys, we'd be there all the time!
