So Close But So Far Away

Even though we have not received our official travel approval, everything is still on track for us to travel to China in October.  Things seem to be moving a little faster now that we have a light at the end of the tunnel, but it still seems like such a long time!  I can't wait to have Caleb in my arms!  I can't wait to learn everything about him....what he likes, what he doesn't like, his sleeping habits, his personality.


While we continue to wait for our travel dates, we're going to try to raise money to help with the expenses invovled in bringing Caleb home.  For now we have decided to sell coffee.  Please visit our web site, http://www.justlovecoffee.com/TheLums.  We will receive $5 from every product sold to put towards our adoption costs.  Thank you so much for your continued support in our journey!

Children of God


How blessed we are to be the adopted into the Family of God!

"Those who are guided by the Spirit of God are the sons of God.  The Holy Spirit does not enslave us and make us fear.  But, through the Holy Spirit, God has adopted us and claimed us as His own.  With our deepest emotion, we may call Him Father.  The Spirit Himself, with our new spirit, confirms that we truly are God's children."  Romans 8:14-16
