| The JOURNEY To NO�L |
| Who would have thought that one day my wife and I would find ourselves without any children. After 10 years of trying we saw China adoption as an answer to our prayers for the child our arms longed to hold. So as my wife Lois began the process with the paper work No�ls new room was being prepared for her eager arrival. |
| We started the process in January 1998. Months passed and time seemed to drag on as we waited for our referral from China with the picture of our baby. But the day finally came in early December 1998. We received via express mail the documents. But most importantly the first look at our baby No�l. Lois placed the express package under our Christmas tree waiting for me to come home from work so we could open it together. |
| So I finally made it home and the long awaited moment came to open our special early Christmas gift from God! As we pulled out the documents and saw the picture. It was an unreal moment yet such a joy to finally see our baby. It was like a dream; there she was in the picture, ours! |
