Dear friends and loved ones,
This has been a great way for us to keep in touch on updates about our daughter and thoughts on adoption. However, going forward, we will no longer post new pictures or specific adoption updates here. Pictures and specifics have been removed from previous posts (which may end up being deleted all together). We'll send Christmas letters to many of you and will include ways to get in touch with us if you'd like to be on an ongoing email distribution. If you're not on the Christmas letter list, email us (if you don't know our email, most of you can find someone who does) to let us know you'd like to receive updates.
The key things we've wanted you all to know about adoption prep have been posted recently. If we get a bunch of enthusiastic bites on the email distribution, perhaps we will share more resources there.
I'll still use this blog. I love writing and there are lots of areas beyond adoption I'd still like to write about. I hope you'll still come out to check what's top of mind in other areas.
For those who desire to hurt and discourage us... We had heard of you, but didn't understand the scope or intensity of your goals against us until today. Again, we are sorry for the losses that would lead to the amount of anger it must take to fuel this type of passion and energy expenditure against people who simply want to love and care for children via legal routes. However, as a community, we too have a powerful Ally; one who contends on our behalf and whose motive is LOVE. We believe He is on the move here - and you would be wise never to underestimate the power of His true Love.
May you have success with your goals in advocating for mothers and children. In that, we support you. And we pray that the beauty and joy of this coming season will touch your hearts in powerful ways that might surprise even you. Merry Christmas.

We stand beside you in faith that our Father is greater than anything in the world.
I'm with you V. Don't let others problems with the world infect your life. Not everyone knows God as well as we do.
Who could be against...never mind, I think I just answered my own question.
V, I appreciate your love, humility, and gracious response to those who have not shown the same to you. That is Jesus, my friend.
Thanks, you guys. And thanks to everyone who emailed who might have felt vulnerable in commenting. Unwanted eyes appear to be gone; should be fine going forward. Let's keep praying Eva home...
V- I find myself feeling very proud...proud of how you handle situations like this, proud to call you and E friends. You two conduct yourself with dignity and grace and you've accomplished far more with an agenda-driven group through your words and actions than anger and name-calling ever could. Thanks for modeling this for us all, including your enemies.
