- I am a passionate follower of Jesus (falling short every day), wife to Phillip for over 22 years, mom to 3 amazing young men who inspire me daily, and mom to 1 little Chinese angel....prayin' that one day they'll rise up and call me blessed! This blog started out in May 2008 when we were waiting on our adopted daughter, Macy Li, in hopes of keeping our friends in the loop on the happenings...and has turned into a journal/scrapbook of sorts of our lives.

So beautiful, and I love that all the kids are dressed alike. :)
I came from Gwen's blog.
Congratulations! She is absolutely lovely. I am so happy for you.
Rhonda, sorry if this is a repeat - I'm just getting the hang of this blogging thing - none-the-less I stated that I can't stop crying even though I have watched this video three times! It's just such a testimony to God's faithfulness and His perfect timing!
Rhonda,
I can't believe you have your girl, she is SO beautiful! She fits your arms so well! Seeing the tears in your eyes made me want to crawl thru the computer. I can't imagine how emotional this is for ya'll. God is good, ALL the time. I miss you so much and I love you tons. Can't wait to talk . . . ang!
I am not believing it is finally here! The wait is over, and she is yours.....forever!!!! I can't wait to meet her. You guys stepped it up, did it, and......you ROCK!!!! I am beside myself. Again, I feel an amazing healing as you walk this jouney out that God so clearly led you too!!! We all love you.
The Chapmans!
I've experienced it twice and still cry like a baby. Go figure.
Congrats on this most BEAUTIFUL child God has given you!
Rhonda, I feel like pete and re-peat saying this...but I truly cannot stop crying! She is spectacularly perfect. Oh sister, I am so happy for all of you I can hardly stand it.Cant wait to hear every single detail, but for now, I'll be watching this slideshow over and over again! Love to all of you and know that you are in our prayers! Renee and all the Manuel crew

Hey Rhonda,
I have been following your blog ever since I saw your referral announcement on RQ. I am so happy and excited for you and miss Macy Li and her new family! I pray for safety and FUN in the remainder of your trip!
Ok, Kemp family. I have been sitting here looking at these precious photos and crying and laughing at the same time. We have prayed for sweet Macy Li since I had Nolan in 6th grade. Congratulations. I can't wait to meet her. Annie has been keeping up as well. We love ya'll and I just want her to know that I grew up with three older brothers. Being the only girl was a blast! We love ya'll and can't wait to have you back in Tennessee.
Love,
Leslie Carpenter and Family

See you soon,
