Healing Homes

During the course of Mason's stay in Shanghai, he has lived with 4 different Healing Homes. First, the Leow family, then us, then the Naville family, and then the Armstrong family. All four families loved him, and he loved them! We were utterly devastated when Chris' job situation forced us to leave Shanghai and return to America (and believe me- we tried everything we could think of to stay in Shanghai, but it wasn't the Lord's plan), but we were so happy that a wonderful Healing Home was found to take care of him for the majority of our time away until we could arrive for our adoption trip and join him to our family together!!!

Thank you to the Leow, Naville, and Armstrong families for everything you have given Mason, and mostly for your love to our sweet baby boy! I am so elated that I was able to spend time with each of you during this week in Shanghai. You will always be a part of our extended family, and Mason will grow up hearing about your roles in his childhood. To you all, we are very grateful!
