Myah home from China 6/06
Our adoption story began after hearing a sermon given by our pastor who had just returned from China with his new daughter. After the birth of our son, Dayton, 11 years ago, we were unable to have another child. We didn’t have many options when it came to adding to our family, and after hearing about our pastor’s journey to his daughter, we knew that international adoption was the answer to our prayers. We were very eager to start the process and contacted Adoption Associates immediately. We went to an information meeting that week. ...

Miyah home from China 11/06
We are so thrilled since returning home from China with Miyah on November 8, 2006!! We talk daily about how we are happier than we ever thought we could be!!!! We are just so in love with this little girl—she has truly enriched our lives beyond words. It sounds cliché, but we cannot remember what it was like to not have her be a part of our family. Maybe because she was so present in our thoughts for so long before we actually met her. ...

Ryan Tian home from China 9/06
Upon our decision to adopt, we did some Internet research of adoption agencies and made several phone calls. After one phone conversation with Adoption Associates, Inc. (AAI), we were convinced they were right for us. Their firsthand knowledge of the adoption process and willingness to provide information calmed our concerns of a journey into something new and life changing. AAI offered valuable advice, efficiency with our paperwork, and was always quick in responding to questions (even when we called and e-mailed while in China). ...

Caleb home from China 3/06
We knew we wanted to become parents again but we weren’t sure what avenue to pursue. After reading an article in the paper several years ago featuring a group of families in North Carolina who had adopted an entire choir full of boys from Liberia, we knew our hearts weren’t ever going to be the same. Our prayers of direction were finally answered, so off we went collecting papers, forms, and asking questions. After a while, the doors to adopting from Liberia seemed to start closing for us. As frustration set in, we decided to go to an adoption seminar where we met AAI and their “Waiting Child Special Needs Program” in China. Once again our hearts skipped a beat and our journey to Caleb began. ...
