http://septembersweeties.blogspot.com/2015/05/617.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. We recently celebrated Beilyn's 1 year Gotcha-versary, but that's not all! Telling our families there are actually 7 Knepps in this picture- Priceless! 9829; Baby B #5 due 11.26.15. ♥. Now to him who is able. To do immeasurably more than all we ask. Or imagine, according to his power. That is at work within us. Eph 3:20. With all those helpers, you should barely have to change any diapers : ). May 14, 2015 at 6:40 PM.

Worth the Wait: November 2013
http://mckownsadopt.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Bai Jia Bei for Ellie! Monday, November 4, 2013. National Adoption Awareness Month/ Orphan Sunday. and BIG Decisions! Its been a long time since I have done any blogging in this thing! I really wish that I could be more productive at doing this! I really want to, honestly, but I really feel that if I don't have any new adoption news that, it really isn't important to blog. or that nobody would want to read it. SO, with that being said. HAPPY ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH! The past few months have been very ch...

Bai Jia Bei for Ellie! Friday, December 12, 2014. One Piece of Paper. I never realized the power that ONE PIECE of paper could have on someones life! We had our USCIS fingerprints done on November 10th and that was the 12th day of our approval wait! And transferred me to her so that I could talk to her! Are you kidding me right now? She then explained that if I had the ability to, I was able to scan and email them to her. WOOOOOOOHHHOOOOOOO PRAISE GOD! She told me in the email that the approval was done ...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: Adoption Process
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/p/adoption-process.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. When I first wrote this at the time, this was the current process for international adoption for China. Rules quickly change. In fact, they were changing as we were going through the process. So please, use this as a loose guideline to help you see how is could roughly go, and don't use this as anything more than how my process went as each one varies individually. Our adoption agency is CCAI. Our social worker agency is Children's Bureau. We've really enjoyed them. They h...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: April 2015
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. My crazy, silly, innocent, little girl! She keeps you on your toes. She's as sweet as can be and means well, but she is 3 and listening isn't her strong suite. This girl loves to climb and run and be outside all the time, even if it's freezing! So I try to oblige her when I can to play outside, but with the rain and the weather going up and down, it's not always possible. Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Links to this post. Thursday, April 23, 2015. I've trie...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: Take Me Out to the Ballgame
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015/05/take-me-out-to-ballgame.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Take Me Out to the Ballgame. Earlier this morning she looked super adorable. She hadn't worn her fox ears in forever! She wore her headband through most of the day, until it got "too cold". The weather dropped and off went her fox ears and on the coat and we went on a walk. After the walk, Ashton picked up her garden utensil and started swinging it. Must have picked up this song from daycare. my little slugger! Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Truth In the Tinsel.

http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. Monday, March 30, 2015. She was super cute walking her palms, though I couldn't get a good shot in. She really enjoyed it she said. We'll be taking these palms and making crosses out of them to keep and share with family. Posted by LadyBug Dragon. Links to this post. Friday, March 27, 2015. Because of you I'll NEVER see these things the same again. These now have special meaning in my heart, as I'm sure to those that know you well too. Right after. It's adorable! Your favorite...

The Journey Along the Invisible Red Thread: Our Family
http://theredthreadjourney.blogspot.com/p/our-family.html
Indianapolis Walk the Wall. I've been married a handful of years to an amazing man; and we currently live in the state of Indiana. God has blessed our family.

Our daughter was adopted from China; and we brought home our baby girl on April 2013 when she was only 17 months old! He's lived many lives in a short period of time. He's a giv...
