Introducing John Wesley

We have been waiting a long time to find our child and the Lord has blessed us with a son. It is with absolute joy and thankful hearts we share the news that "Alexander" from Madison's Camp Rabbit Shanghai is our son!  Our kids are so excited to be adding a little brother to our family.  His name will be John Wesley BaoQiang.  He will be our seventh child and the youngest member of our family. We can not wait to travel to China to bring him home!

Isaiah 30:21 “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”

Our adoption agency traveled to China and spent some time with John Wesley and many of the children in his orphanage.  Because of this we have these wonderful videos of our sweet boy. The videos were made February 27 & 28, 2011.  There are many little ones from this same orphanage needing families.  Please contact me if you would like more information.

Telling Brinley and Bailey we are adopting John Wesley. :)











3 second video made June 1 by a family visiting the CWI with their newly adopted son.  So grateful for every little glimpse into John John's life.

I found some photos of John on another family's blog!  So excited to have these additional photos.  I emailed and received the following message.  "Sharon, is your son the one my daughter is holding?  If so we fell in love with him, quite the little charmer. "   LOVE IT!!!  :)


They think he looks like he is approaching 2 years old.
