I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you.  John 14:18

This is the first verse I heard Sunday Morning...What a promise God gives to us! It's more than I can comprehend that our Heavenly Father adopts us into His family, loves us unconditionally, offers us forgiveness freely through Jesus, even rejoices over us. And it's ONLY through Him that we are blessed to be on this journey to Ainsley,  thus the title of this page...Only through His Love....not to us Oh Lord, but to Your name be glory!!

We are on our way to Chicago, and overwhelmed with God's grace at how He has worked out all the details. We are truly humbled by all of your prayers, kind words, and notes of encouragement! Thank you! 

If all goes as planned we will arrive in Beijing Thursday evening (Beijing time is 12 hours ahead of us), where we will be staying until Sunday. We will then fly to Guangzhou on Sunday evening, and hope to meet Ainsley on Monday morning!

  3. Kerkstra family, we returned home with our two year old cl/cp baby three weeks ago. We also traveled with four children, then five and are still pinching ourselves that she's home. We will be praying you to China and back as you snatch up that baby Father has set in your family. Your kids will be forever changed to witness her "birth". Bless you all.
    The Vos family
