the hardgrave family

We’ll be putting our 2nd batch of “support leters” in the mail today. You can read the full text of the letter here. As you can read in the letter, our adoption time-line has really been accelerated since having accepted a “Special Needs” refferal. We are very excited about the possiblity of traveling to China as soon as January,but it does shorten time for raising the funds to do so. By the Lord’s help we are hoping to raise the remaining 14K of the adoption costs by December. We really believe that He has called us to this, so we trust that he’ll provide for our needs. Please keep us in your prayers that we would remain faithful and patient!

If you are checking out our Weblog because you recieved one of our support letters, thanks so much for stopping by. We are so glad you are here!

Please take a second to look around and catch up on the latest news. To find news or pictures about specific family members or “happeningss,” please check the “categories” in the right column. If you have any questions for us about our adoption or the site, we would love to hear from you! Please feel free to email us

Due to a new policy at our adoption agency, we are not allowed to post any pictures of pre-adopted children on the Web before travel approval arrives from the Chinese Center for Adoption affairs. So far as we know, there is no prohibition against emailing pictures. If you’d like to see an image of Hua Yin please email us by clicking here

There is no way to know for sure, but AWAA estimates that our Travel Approval Letter should arrive sometime in December. We’ll post pictures of Hua Yin as soon as it comes. Thanks for checking!
