My name is Mandi and my husband Matt and I have been married 20 years. We are so fortunate to have been blessed with 3 biological children, Blake, Emma, and Gabe. Adoption has been something I wanted to do as long as I could remember. In 2008 we turned a dream into a reality when we brought home Mylee. What I thought was just going to be a once in a lifetime thing, has turned into so much more. I knew when I left China with Mylee I would return. In 2010 we welcomed Andrew and Jaxon and in 2012 we welcomed Kalia. We are currently on a race against the clock to add the newest member to our family. He will turn 14 on May 21, so we have less than 3 months to be in China. As with every adoption, we have let God take control and know that he is in control of this one as well.
A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When lessons are learned,hardships endured, and loneliness lived,then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said,"No, not yet child." The child asked, "When will it be time?"Jesus replied, "When maturity is reached,self-worth affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time." Time passed. The child asked, "Is it time?"Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said, "Their love is strong and their hearts are open.Yes, now it is time-Your parents are ready."~author unknown
