We're excited that you've taken the time to share in our journey to adopt Guan, Yong Wen from China. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to wait and prepare for this life-changing event.

You will be able to follow us as we travel in China as we will be posting pictures and journal entries each day of our trip.

For those who wonder why we chose the name "Marnina", let us explain. When we told Matt's mom that we were adopting, she said "I don't care what you name her because she'll be my little joy." While searching baby names, we came across "Marnina", which is Hebrew for "cause of joy". We felt this to be the perfect name because Marnina will be a cause of joy!!!

Please sign the guestbook as we plan to create a book of memories for Marnina of people who shared in bringing her home to us.
