Last night I received an email I had been praying would come. It was from a beautiful 17 year old girl who just got back from volunteering at Emme Jade's orphanage. Keaton is a "Yangster" too, and she was adopted as a baby from Yangzhou. She and her Mom traveled back to China to re-introduce Keaton to her beginnings.

Keaton blessed Jeff and I with not only pictures of our new daughter, but with insight to her life in Yangzhou. We learned more about her personality, about what she does each day, about where she sleeps and eats, and about her routine at the orphanage. Keaton is an articulate and special young lady, and I have no doubt she stole many little hearts when she was there!

I pray that I have the opportunity to travel back to China with all of our girls one day on a trip where we can bless the children waiting for their forever families! Thank you Keaton, and Mrs. G for loving on our little girl and her friends! This is a priceless gift you have given us!

During our week in Chicago, I had the privilege of doing a photo shoot with Kit. This was such a blessing for me! Around this time last year two friends sent me the referral photo of an adorable little girl dressed in a hat and precious outfit that was on the shared list. Her special need was one that was dear to my heart. I immediately sent her photo to my sweet friend, ~B. In November this very special little girl came home to be a daughter and a sister in this precious family. I am so thankful that God has allowed me to be part of her forever family story! Kit is one special little girl, and I loved the opportunity to spend time with her behind my lens!! Thank you Bridget for asking me to do this!!
