This may come as a shock to you... but not only are we bringing home Anna really soon to join our family, but we recently added a second sweet girl to our adoption process. Her name is Ni Gui Yuan, or Zoe... if you'd like. She is about to "age out" of the Chinese system, meaning her birthday is May 13th and she will turn 14. We are excited about this adventure and pray that God's hand is in every detail and we are now in an amazing rush to get all the paperwork done. Right now... our paperwork is at the US Embassy in Guangzhou, China. As soon as they sign off on it, and then China Center of Adoption Affairs signs off on it.. we'll be purchasing plane tickets and be off. :) We're really hoping that it could be as soon as April 9th...
I am posting a picture of Zoe and we'll be updating you soon on when we should be leaving. Continue to follow us while we're in China. It should be interesting and packed.. We'll try for lots and lots of pictures this time.
Please pray... pray.... pray for all the details. It's a lot, but our God is bigger!!

Hi Shawn, Stephanie, and Family,
So glad to hear that Zoe's adoption is proceeding. We praise the Lord for the heart and active faith He has worked in you, giving you the desire and resources to take in two more orphans. You are definitely in our prayers for the adoption process and adjustments once they are home.
Love, Matt and Diane
Hi Vincent family! I just got the link, so don't stop posting now! I am so excited for you to go get your 2 new daughters. How exciting for you and them! I wish I lived closer so that we could meet them. Hopefully we'll be up in Oregon for a visit before too terribly long. I hope the paperwork gets pushed through quickly so you can go get them soon!
Hi Vincents,
What a delightful surprise to see your post on my blog! Nancy A shared with us just a few weeks ago about your adopting a 2nd daughter. What a blessing! We are very excited about it and we can't wait to meet them both. We will continue to be praying for you during this time! Blessings!
Shawn and Stephanie,
I pray this all goes well and smooth. This is christianity ministering to orphans. Keep up the great work!
Love, Mike and Sharon
