ALIVIA'S PARENTS
|
Through God’s Sovereign
plan for our family, we are adopting a precious “bundle of
joy” from Guizhou Province, China. We thank God for His
goodness in allowing this wonderful blessing for us! After
much prayer over a 5-year period and realizing our family
was not complete, we felt called by God to adopt. After
our paperwork (aka “paperwork pregnancy”) was in order,
our dossier was logged into China on June 30, 2005.
Thirteen months to the date, we received our referral call
for Alivia Grace Li. We ask that you listen to God as He
speaks to you, and trust Him in all ways and He will make
all things happen according to His will. |

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless
is this:
to look after orphans
and widows in their distress…” James 1:27 (NIV)
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

OUR LETTER TO ALIVIA |
Dear Precious Baby Girl,
Since the beginning, we have been in constant prayer for
you. You weren’t even born when this journey of faith began
in November of 2004. God heard our prayers! The long process
of 20 months was all worth it! The moment we heard about you
we were in love! Then when we saw your pictures – the tears
were overflowing. They were tears of joy and thanksgiving to
God for blessing our lives with another beautiful, precious
baby girl to love. Alivia, your eyes are so innocent, your
face is so pure. We have prayed to God to give you dreams of
your new family and that you may know that you are already
loved by us, your earthly Mother and Father, and most
importantly by your Heavenly Father.
We cannot wait to hold you, kiss you, and love you more than
you will ever want to be loved. You have a big brother,
Doug, who is away at this time in the US Air Force stationed
in England. You will meet him at Christmas. You have a big
sister, Mary, who is overjoyed to finally have a baby sister.
She will be waiting at the airport when we bring you home,
Lord willingly, on September 28. You also have grandparents,
aunts, uncles, cousins, and a wonderful church family
waiting to spoil you and love you, too.
Oh, Alivia, this day can’t come soon enough – We need to
hold you now. Only a few more days until I (Mommy) meet you for the
first time. Oh the joy that will fill my soul! Love, Mommy
and Daddy |

“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I
asked of him.”

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding,
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your
paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 |

Our
Precious Child
With anxious hearts and open arms,
We sought you everywhere.
You dear child, are a gift from God,
The answer to our prayer.
No matter whether birth or choice,
A home is blessed from above.
When caring parents claim their child,
A family is formed by love.
