Your post is beautiful and you spoke so many of the things I feel and see happening within our family. We have 3 bio children and just brought a little boy home from China a year ago! I love the transformation our journey has had on our other children. I see their hearts breaking for those things our Father&#39;s heart breaks for. God is good! Your family is darling and your sweet little Asian princess is a doll. She looks like such a little peanut. Blessings on your journey! <br />JulieJulieMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15340243033223916616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-44156251649455128442012-01-20T12:07:52.458-08:002012-01-20T12:07:52.458-08:00Ang - can I steal this for WAGI? &lt;3 itKelly the Overthinkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04910258636674801379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-14554951776226924652012-01-20T06:16:28.954-08:002012-01-20T06:16:28.954-08:00this was so beautifulAllihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15556466832346303727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-41272775161836260302012-01-19T17:24:13.674-08:002012-01-19T17:24:13.674-08:00ahhhh, so sweet! thank you for sharing the beautiful grace that comes from opening your heart and your home to love without limits.

How cool that you are opening them up to compassion like that. The depth of which, they likely wouldn&#39;t have had if it weren&#39;t for this experience and collaboration of kindred spirits. <br /><br />Very interesting take on Emery&#39;s relationship with her Mom. I wonder too. Was she a young mother, an ill-equipped Mother, a Mother hoping for a son? I hope someday you are able to reach her. But I have no doubt she will have a very full life because of you all.Miss Caitlin S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10643817536737845811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-82618809428483413172012-01-18T13:26:45.871-08:002012-01-18T13:26:45.871-08:00wow. just wow.Demetria Raperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09630348608418281077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-91987778149223861722012-01-18T06:18:08.601-08:002012-01-18T06:18:08.601-08:00This is so beautifully written. I struggle with so much of what you said in the end about the pain that is inevitable for them with abandonment. My Hayden is so strong and confident, but I know he wonders and I see his pain on the fleeting moments when it comes. God is the one and only healer and thank God for that. He brought these children to us and he&#39;s never going to let them go. I LOVED the story of your boys. TEARS! What a beautiful display of God&#39;s grace and love, acceptance and nurturing.. right in those kids of yours. Beautiful. You have a beautiful family Angie. So so beautiful. God bless you.camihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13234062347316533072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-40509315210773600922012-01-17T20:11:57.125-08:002012-01-17T20:11:57.125-08:00thank you.

If you tried to have that conversation without having the experience of bringing Emery home, it would have been so abstract. She&#39;s their sister and so very real, her story is deep and they totally &#39;get it&#39;. Such big hearts they have to play it out with the baby dolls!<br />hugs!"Indescribable"http://www.blogger.com/profile/16979631393545065462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-43955805813052567552012-01-17T16:05:45.490-08:002012-01-17T16:05:45.490-08:00Oh, sweet mercy!!!!!

That is beautiful and adoption changed our boys hearts as well. They were changed by mia but really changed by Finley (mia was chaged too) and they will further be changed by bringing Emery home. It is beautiful-- it has changed all of us. We never intended on adopting more than just mia but when you see the need and what we have, there is just no way we, as christians, cant act. So, people ask me if we are done with Emery -- #5 and I say that we thought we were done with adoption #1 but God has had a different plan for our lives-- so we just leave it open to what He has planned for our lives (but we did put 2 kids on our I800A approval just in case--:)Christyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03077047658906478290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-28852227740088627692012-01-17T11:27:08.296-08:002012-01-17T11:27:08.296-08:00thank you for sharing this precious moment with us. i am in awe of the beautiful things God is doing through your family!The Life of Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587612584571019446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158624487263217452.post-88640496466491959592012-01-17T11:17:37.479-08:002012-01-17T11:17:37.479-08:00TEARS TEARS TEARS AND MORE TEARS, ANGIE!
