A year with Happy Kim

Kimberly has been in our hearts for over 5 years.  One year ago today she was placed in our arms and became a part of our family for forever.  What a blessing she is.  God knew we needed a little spice.  Saturday we celebrated by having friends and family over for cake and ice cream.  We even got to use one of the fun candles we risked our lives to get from the bakery across the busy street from our hotel in Nanchang. 



The kids had fun playing with squirt bottles.


Kimberly has pretty good aim so watch your back.


We got to spend Saturday evening with the beautiful Uland family and their little Fu girl, Ting Ting.  Kim and Ting didn't know what to think about it all at first, then they fought over a few toys (haha), but by the end of the evening everyone was playing great.  We reminisced and compared stories.  Looked at pics from China and enjoyed memories.  We really miss all of Travel Group 1597 and Kimberly's Fu sisters. 


We've come a long way since this time last year.  Kimberly has bonded and adjusted so well.  She is so much fun and keeps us laughing, especially now that we can understand some of what she is saying.  She can be so sweet and loving. 


As you can see, she's a girl on the go.  Sometimes it's hard to keep up.  I look forward to the years ahead and can't wait to see where the road leads.


We love you so much Kimberly Mei Xin.

Finding Ad for Kimberly






I cannot imagine the horror of making the decision to abandon this beautiful child.  I pray for Kimberly's birth mother and family.  I know they were in an impossible situation.  I believe they must have loved her and I wish I could tell them that she is loved and cared for. 

Our agency located the paper that included her finding ad.  Someone translated the ad and wrote the following at the bottom of the page:
"We found an abandoned baby at the gate of (name) home who is the (it names a village and county).  Her name is Fu Jiu Xin, female, was born on Feb 18, 2009, dark hair, fair skin." 

We will never know her story fully.  This is the earliest known picture.

Kimberly's Child Dedication

On November 27, 2010 Lifepoint Church had a really nice child dedication celebration.   We took Kimberly to dedicate her to the Lord and promise to raise her to love God.

My brain is not able to put together cute stories or clever thoughts right now but I wanted to share some pics anyway.
