July 2009 UPDATE: Caleb is quite possibly the cutest 4 year old Chinese boy ever. Really. This is truth. Granted, this IS his mom speaking...but I will say that others have confirmed this as well!
At the time I began this blog, the following was about all we knew of Caleb. I'm happy to say that we know much, much more about him now. We are growing more and more in love with him each day.
Caleb is a three year old boy living in an orphanage in Chengdu, China. He was abandoned at a temple when he was three days old. He has a repaired cleft lip and palate and has never known the love of a family or the name of Jesus. We are waiting for the day we can bring him into our home. He already has a place in our hearts.
Psalm 139:15-16 "My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
I have been married for 16 years and my husband still makes me laugh every day. He spends his days working as a physical therapist but would really love to hang out at home with the rest of us all day. We have four children and one waiting for us in China. My kids are either making me laugh our making me crazy-o. My goal is to have more laughter than not each day and even if it makes it by .001% then I'm calling it a good day. I homeschool our kids even though I swore I never would. Our family is looking less and less like the "norm" and I'm ok with that. I kind of like it.

Hi,
My name is Linn and Alexis is doing a makeover for me too, so I came across your blog thru hers. I have to tell you I started to cry when I saw your little Caleb looking at your family picture for the first time. He is absolutely adorable!
I'm partial to little Asian boys (we have a son from Korea - all grown up and serving our country in the Special Forces, and then a little one brought from China 18 months ago at age 3-1/2)...
Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for your Caleb's adjustment - how wonderful that God sets the lonely in families! Yippee Jesus!
We rejoice with you!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! It's here!!!! Come home soon Caleb!
I forgot to respond about the laptop. Yes, we brought our own, and I would recommend bringing one. It's a pain when you go through security, BUT not all the hotels have them!! Plus, when you download your pictures off the camera, you'll want to download them right onto your computer IN CASE, perish the thought, your camera were to get stolen.
xoxo
Julia,
I happened upon your blog from another site. Congratulations on your LOC! We traveled to China for our second adoption last October. What a blessing the little guy will be to your family. I will be praying for a safe journey for your family and a smooth transition for Caleb.
