He will join our family with three older sisters, one older and one younger brother.
John is currently living in Ch*na and has just had his 7th birthday.
We are told he is very smart and is in school now.
John is special in that he was born with one of the 200 types of dwarfism call Achondroplasia.

The road to international adoption is a long one with seemingly endless amounts of paperwork to chase down, sign, notarize, authenticate, etc.
However, it can't be that bad as we are doing it AGAIN!
Right now we are at the home study part of the adoption.
This means that our backgrounds are being checked.
Our finances are being checked.
Job and insurance status, Check!
Home and family life, semi-normal. Ha!
Once we are all checked out and our paperwork is in order the social worker will come for two visits.
This Sunday is our first visit and we are more than ready!
We are also working hard on fundraising right now because adoption is very expensive and adopting two in two years wasn't in our finances but was for sure in our hearts.
If you feel so moved feel free to donate from the link on our site which would be VERY appreciated.
Along this process I'll keep you up to date where we are at and what's next.
I just found your blog on the new commitments page and I plan to follow along! I love how you said two adoptions weren't in your finances, but for sure in your hearts and I just had to comment! Good luck with everything and I'll be praying for you!
