Host Family testimony
In the summer of 2009, our family had several things planned. We were in the adoption process with a second daughter from Taiwan. When we heard about the Taiwan tour and the possibility of hosting our future daughter, we did some scrambling to reschedule our summer plans! We are so glad we did!
Paige was six when she arrived at LAX with a dozen other children with yellow backpacks. When she arrived her face was expressionless and she seemed rather overwhelmed and frightened for the first few days. Then she began talking, and she talked non-stop for the next week and a half even though we couldn't understand her! She had fun at the beach, riding bikes, at Vacation Bible School, and at Disneyland. It was hard to put her back on that plane! During the six months that followed, her adoption process and transition into our family was more comfortable (and less scary!) because she had spent two weeks in our family. She has now been with us for a year and a half and she is thriving in many ways. She is full of laughter, affection, and energy and she regularly thanks God for making us a family!
