Where do you start? How do you tell the story of searching the world and finding your child?

My husband and I experienced about two years of trying to get pregnant. We weren't infertile, we just kept having miscarriages...I already had two wonderful boys from a previous marriage but my we really wanted more children.

At this time, China is where we wanted to go. But we were too young to adopt from China so we had to wait. To make a very long story short, we became pregnant and our beautiful daughter, Kylie, was born.

And in another 14 1/2 months, John was born.

There we were, a family of 6! Jacob is 14, Nathan is 12, Kylie is 3 and John is 2. We were set. Life was good - very good.

But have you ever experienced a talk with God that tells you there is more? Have you ever tried to tune God out? It really doesn't work...

I can't even put my finger on the day or how it happened exactly, but the next thing I know, I am totally emersed in the China adoption community. I read every post on every China adoption yahoo group. I was completely and totally of the mindset that this was where God wanted us.

And so began our beautiful, wonderful, stressful, and tearful journey to Kaycee Abigail Xi.

Kaycee - Yuan Yuan Xi born on October 6, 2005 in Fuzhou, Fujian, China.

Kaycee was born with Bilateral Microtia (neither of her ears are formed all of the way on the outside.) At this point, she is deaf, however we have been told that when she comes home, and receives a hear aid, she will be able to hear.

What a beautiful gift she will be to our family. What an awesome, God given journey awaits us...
