The Plan

We guess there really is no need to explain ourselves but we do want to share not only some truly wonderful news but also to share some of our thoughts as we take the next step in our journey. First things first…we would like to introduce Jude Christopher Niande Sardos to our family. Born 10-30-2008 in Shanghai, China. Yes you read it correctly, we hope to have Jude join our family soon. We know what people may think, what are they crazy, don’t they have enough, gee how old are they, oh my, they are just so wonderful to save another child! But to be honest we aren’t wonderful or special or in this to save anyone. We do this because in our hearts we know this is the path we must take. Whether you call it fate, karma, divine intervention or maybe just Gods Plan it’s the driving force that has taken us on this wonderful journey. Started twenty-five years ago we have seen our family grow, first little Joe who was there from the beginning, then as the boys all joined our family you could feel the love in our family, a love that needed to be shared with others. To adopt the girls all just seemed so natural, it was always, no matter what challenges we faced and still face, the right thing to do for us….it was always part of Gods Plan. Now the time is right to continue the journey to come full circle so to speak, we again open our hearts and our family to another child, not to save anybody, not to make ourselves feel better or special but because it’s the right thing to do at the right time to do it. To paraphrase John F. Kennedy… If not us who? If not now, when? We would like to thank you in advance for all your support and we look forward to sharing this wonderful part of our life’s journey with you and we hope everyone has a Plan in their life. Take care and God Bless.
