Prunty Family

Agency:  GWCA

DTC:  June 22, 2000  

ACR:  0-10 months  

Jeff is an engineer and I am a homemaker. We have two boys, Ryan and Taylor, that we adopted domestically and a daughter, Jillian, that we adopted from China.  We have been married for 17 years.  Our boys keep us pretty busy with school and sports activities and Jillian keeps us hopping as she explores the house.  We also participate in Church-related activities with friends.  We decided to adopt from China because we wanted a daughter, the plight of the baby girls in China tore at my heart and God let us know that He had a baby girl for us there.  We decided to adopt our second daughter from China because we wanted Jillian to have a Chinese sibling.  However, the timing of that...so soon after adopting Jillian...was definitely a "God thing."  We are looking forward to our second trip to China and wondering if/how it will differ from our first trip to China.  We fell in love with China and the Chinese people when we were there.  It was truly a trip of a lifetime and we feel incredibly blessed to be going again.
