About Us
- Tim and Tanya
- We moved to Arizona 8 years ago from Washington State. We have been married for 18 years and have two beautiful biological children: Austin (14) and Kailey (13). We decided to build our family through adoption almost 3 years ago. Our whole family is incredibly excited to go to China and bring Ying home! We want to thank everyone for their prayers and support over the past couple years! We love you dearly!

Ahh.. I can't believe it. I had to call Bry at work and read him the post, although I cried through whole thing, I don't think he could understand a word.
I am so overwhelmed with our God. That he knew the perfect timing of it all, the perfect little Ying, and the perfect family for her!
I love your pictures, I can't get enough of looking at them. She is adorable, and so are you guys.
Blessings, to you my sweet friends. We are still praying for you all.
I will sing of the LORD's great love forever; with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known through all generations. Psalm 89:1
This is great. What a doll. Grandma and Grandpa already love her,and can not wait to hug her. Love you all.
