I wanted to let you all in on some BIG news in the Box house. We are currently in the process of adopting a little girl from China. This is something God has placed on both of our hearts for some time now. Through much prayer and consideration we are stepping out in faith and moving forward with the adoption process. We don't have too much to share right now but we have been through the first round of paperwork and are currently waiting to do our homestudy visits. The wait in China is currently topping 5 years but we are adopting a waiting child. This means the child is either older or has a physical/mental "defect".
So for our family this means 2 things:
1. Our little girl will most likely have a cleft lip/palate and will have surgery shortly after she arrives home.
2. Our wait will be considerably less, possibly 1 year.
We would appreciate prayers for our little girl. She has already been born so my prayer is that wherever she is that she is safe, cared for and loved :)

About Me
- The Box Office
- Kurt and I met at A&M and have been married for 13 years. We have four boys and a daughter. It's hard to believe seven years have passed since I left the Landmark office and joined the Box office. I work here at home with the Box kids :) It certainly doesn't carry the same financial rewards but I am "paid" with hugs, kisses and the promise of many wonderful memories that will one day be priceless.
