Fun Times

Not much news about Jace lately... but I can't wait to get him this summer! Anyway, I went to my aunt's house for a cookout to celebrate the first day of spring, it was a lot of fun! I played basketball, man-hunt, walked through a trail, and roasted marshmallows with my cousin, sister and friends.. haha I am so dirty right now and smell like a campfire =) ! I'm so excited to be able to have fun like that with Jace soon, it's kind of weird because its like I miss him but i never met him, in my mind he's already family and has been for a while now <3!

Love,

God is Good!!!

Just got back from school, ugh long day haha! We had chapel and a great pastor today, but what was really amazing was the man who sang and played piano for us. He is blind but he was amazing! It was very encouraging and made me happy to think sure it might be hard with Jace being deaf but God showed me when one door closes He opens another. I am so excited to see what He has planned for Jace and how he can use him to glorify God. Okay, I've got to do homework now fun, fun :)... Bye!

My Journey to Jace

Welcome to my blog. This blog is about the journey to get my Di Di (little brother), Jace from China.
I am a soon to be 14 year old girl who doesn't know much about the whole adoption process and doesn't really care, I just want to see my little brother's face for the first time. I will be journaling about our journey to Jace, and would love for you to follow along.

My little brother is 3 years old and he is deaf. I took sign language courses with my mom a few years ago, but never really needed it until now. My mom's friend is adopting and by the grace of God, my mom stumbled upon a picture of this little guy and fell in love. We prayed about it and weeks later God chose for us to adopt him!

I have mixed emotions about this whole process I am a little afraid because I don't know if he will like me, but I am ecstatic at the same time. I have been praying for this for a long and I won't doubt God's choice through this once.

Love,
Jie Jie <3
