A Special Reunion!!!

Today Jennifer and I got together with some special friends... Christina and Kevin are the reason Pearl River exists today.. Their hard work, and dedication to making sure children, some they will never meet, can have a future, inspires me! I love my job working with them as we work to provide families for our Bamboo Babies!!!


This afternoon, I had the privilege of re-uniting Gracie Joy with Christina.. The last time she saw Gracie, she was in Changsha in April, 2010. It is an amazing blessing to see our Bamboo Babies home, happy, and safe with their forever families!!

Emme Jade and Gracie Joy...

untitled-8709

Just a little over three months ago, two special little girls were in China. One was in an orphanage and one was in foster care. Both were very loved.. For months, both families received pictures of their precious daughters imagining the day they would finally be orphans no longer... That day came for both girls in August, one week a part.. During that wait their Mom's talked almost every day... They prayed they would be in China together. Instead we had to settle for Skype and email during those first days supporting each other again from afar.

Yesterday, those little girls finally had the chance to meet.

There is a special part to this story.... Gracie was a Pearl River Baby! So seeing her home now with one of my closest friends, is truly amazing! She is everything I thought she would be and more!! Gorgeous, happy, smart, and FULL of life!! Her English is amazing! You can't help but love Gracie Joy!

Emme is busy keeping up with Gracie! And, I think Miss Jen is happy to finally have her hands on our sweet little girl with the pigtails, kissable cheeks, and contagious smile.. I love this picture of the two of them.... Thank you Jeff for sending me away for a little Jen and Gracie time! I love you!
