Birthday Girl

Ten years and three weeks ago we were blessed to have had an incredible woman walk into our lives. She was 37 weeks pregnant and wanting to give her baby up for adoption. We spent time together and she chose Jeff and & to be the proud parents of her baby to come.

On Friday July 2, 1999 at 4:24 pm we welcomed Grace Rae Chrisman into our family. After praying, wishing and hoping for 13 years to have another child we finally did! There are no words to describe how we felt. We had just months before had given up trying to adopt and said if the Lord wants up to be parents again..it will happen. I cannot tell you how many people thought we were nuts..but with the Lord all things are possible!

I know as parents we all say it..but it's amazing how time has just flown by. I remember this day ten years ago has if it just happened today. Grace is amazing, loving, caring, kind, generous little girl. She loves Jesus with all her heart and she is an amazing prayer warrior! She does not stop praying about a prayer request until the need is met. I just love that about her. So..HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE may you love every minute of being the big 10! I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK!

Side note..Grace and Jeffrey share the same birth mother. A woman who will always have a place in my prayers and heart.
