We are all about adoption in our family. We are blessed with a beautiful, smart, loving and precocious daughter. We cant imagine our lives without this little pixie. We are dedicated to raising not only awareness, but determined to make an impact through adopting another child, and giving back to the orphanages in China that so desperately need help. This was the perfect way for us to build our family!

On September 3, 2005 we got this photo of our new little girl. At the time she was 7 & 3/4 months old and residing in QuJiang a small Social Welfare Institute in the Mountains of Guangdong province. Just two months later we had this little girl in our arms. Our lives will never be the same. We had the priviledge of being allowed to visit Qujiang, a four hour road trip each way, we met the Directors and Nannies and we came away knowing that Piper (Qu, LeSi) was well cared for in her nearly 10 months prior to her being with us. QuJiang was lucky enough to be part of an international formula donation project set up by an American non-profit 'Love Without Boundaries', we saw how healthy and chubby our girls were because of the formula program and decided to become donors ourselves. We are firm believers in paying it foward. Please consider a small donation to LWB, they are truly a wonderful organization. http://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com/
