I just wanted to share the article that our local newspaper wrote about our family:

http://www.uniondemocrat.com/news/story.cfm?story_no= 24655

The paper version included a link to our adoption blog but unfortunately the on-line version did not.

Just had to share!

PS. can anyone tell me why I can make the link live at the bottom of this page but not in the body of the message? I've had this problem several times and I'm just not savvy enough to figure it out. thanks.

God can draw straight with crooked lines! We were lead to the Church in quite the round about way. We wouldn't have been open to a direct path, but God in his love and mercy, knew the way to draw us in .

Jennie Lou,

What a beautiful article and a beautiful family. I long to adopt from Liberia, unfortunately my dh does not share the same longing. I just keep praying.
I spent some time last week looking at the Acres Of Hope website, what an amazing ministry.
