Yes, Esther, and Jodie, our first born is "Josanna" or Josie, the female form of Joseph:) Just know your family has always inspired us:) When Joseph first met Dave (before we were even engaged!) he told him he wanted us to get married and for us to have lots of children so they can be Christian soldiers. Hahaha!! It's so good to hear this story Jodie and to watch your adoption unfold. We are currently in Shanghai and are advocating and raising support for babies with the baobei foundation, as well as pastoring an expat church here. The baobei advocating is new... Anyhow, adoption has always been on our hearts probably since knowing the Vanderlaauns.... you guys have made a huge impact on us too! :)<br />Blessings to both families!

David and Daniel really want to meet you family so we will definitely find a way to get to Canada. :)Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863572401144450122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8405148269097016922.post-40686882564204284752014-12-10T08:18:40.599-07:002014-12-10T08:18:40.599-07:00Wow!
