NEW PHOTOS OF BRINLEY!!!!

Today we were blessed with new photos of Brinley!!! What an awesome and totally unexpected gift! These were sent to us from the wonderful Half The Sky organization! :) They came in the mail today! If they'd come tomorrow we wouldn't have received them until we return from our trip! Half The Sky runs a preschool in the Guilin SWI. We have heard so many fabulous things about Half The Sky and we are so very thankful to all of the people who work so hard to make it possible for children like Brinley to attend preschool and have so much love in their lives!
***You can be a Half The Sky sponsor and you will get updates on the child you are helping every 3 months.....makes a wonderful Christmas gift for the person who has everything! ;) Marty & I recently signed up to be Half The Sky sponsors and we are waiting to receive the information on the child we will be sponsoring. Pay It Forward***







Oh my! What a beautiful child! I already love her every bit as much as our other four children. Some people may question us putting her cleft pictures on here but to us she is simply Brinley...no matter what. If she hadn't had cl/cp, we may have never become her parents since we found her on a list for special needs children. It is our hope that other people will look at her photos and see how perfectly wonderful she is before and after her surgery. We are amazed and thankful when we look at her earliest photos. What a miracle her surgery was! Look at what an amazing change in her! There are so many cleft affected children who need this life-changing surgery. You can help by making even the smallest contribution to Love Without Boundaries. http://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com .

We are all packed and ready to make our way to China tomorrow morning! It's hard to believe that the day has finally come! Please keep us in your prayers!!! :)
