Welcome to our story!
The Lord has put it in our hearts that we should add to our family, and that we should do it via China. We have started interviewing agencies about adopting a little MeiMei (sister) from China. This page will chronicle our journey, and hopefully provide some insight into our journey.
We have decided to name her
Ashlyn Nicoll Wenxin.
We would like to thank China Care Foundation for giving us a grant to help bring Ashlyn home. They always welcome donations!! Check them out!

New photos!!!! Here are some basic pictures of Ashlyn's room. I'm sure I'll be adding more to it soon!
The boys are very excited about their sister and are picking Christmas presents off the TV for her. "We can save it until she gets here!" Says Eric. Whenever we go somewhere in the car, they ask, "Are we going to China today?"
Ashlyn has been identified! We have decided to adopt Jiang, Wen Xin (Wen Shin), who is on the Children's House Special Needs list. Her special need is "Brain Difference" or ACC. When we return home from China, we will be taking her to see Dr Bledsoe in Seattle for further evaluation. She is living in Guilin SWI, Guangxi Province. She was born approx 2/9/01. We hope to go get her in June of 2004!
