Regular Update: October 12, 2009

We have several new families to announce and one item of news about travel. Please join us in praying for these new families being formed by God.

We also wanted to mention a small correction from our last regular update. We reported that the Conroy family would be traveling to Bulgaria to bring home their sons, Nasko and Sevdalin. They did travel to Bulgaria, but the trip was just the first of two that they have to make. They hope to travel back to Bulgaria to bring their boys home before the end of the year.

New Adoptions:

- The Wallen family of Hudson, Ohio is adopting thirteen-year-old Dan Tian Ling, whom they plan to rename Helen, from China. Helen’s special need is lower body paralysis.

- The Riley family of Cincinnati, Ohio is adopting eight-year-old Zheng Li Chong, whom they plan to rename Jacob, from China. Jacob’s special need is hydrocephalus.

- The Vogl family of Slinger, Wisconsin is adopting two-year-old Fu Chang Le, whom they plan to rename Kian, and three-year-old Dang Fu Qi, whom they plan to rename Cade. Both boys are from China and they both suffer from meningocele spina bifida.

- The Berg family of Lynden, Washington is adopting six-year-old Bush from Uganda. Bush’s special need is his age. You may recall that we announced this adoption in the past, but it appeared that the adoption had fallen though and only recently did the Lord open the doors again for Bush to be adopted by the Berg family.

- The Guttadauro family of Newport, Kentucky is adopting two-year old Liang Wan Hong, whom they plan to rename Lianne, from China. Lianne’s special need is that she suffered a stroke at birth.

Families Traveling:

The only travel news we have to report this month is actually about a family that traveled some time ago. The Stanford family of Cincinnati, Ohio traveled to China last February to bring home their son Fu Wen Dong. He has since been renamed Jamie, and we are told he is doing wonderfully since coming home. We apologize for not announcing his homecoming sooner.
