Introducing Zeke!

Drum practice at Korea Camp
Our family recently attended Korea Camp, a heritage camp for Korean adoptees and their families.   Imagine walking into a room with over 150 Asian adoptees.   For me, this experience is profound. When I walk into that room, my heart begins to soar, and I feel a deep stirring in my soul.  I'm brought to tears by the smiles and the laughter of the kids.  I feel close to my Heavenly Father.

So, why is my reaction so powerful and emotional?  Because that is the way the Creator wired me.  He embedded deep into my heart a love of adoption.  He gave me a passion for an area of the world I have only visited a handful of times, and He gave me a husband that shares this passion.

As many of you know, our most recent experience with adoption was devastating and heartbreaking. We needed time to grieve and regroup.  But even as difficult as that journey was, it didn't change our love for adoption or our desire to grow our family through adoption.  And so, we press on......

I would like to introduce you to our son, Ezekiel Mufeng Williams!


Zeke is 2 years old living in an orphanage in the Guangdong province of China. and we can't wait to meet him!   We are hoping to travel to China in late October to bring Zeke home.  And when I say "we", I mean our whole family will travel together!  Adam and I may have completely lost our minds thinking we can travel internationally with three little ones who are age 5 and under, but if nothing else, it will make for some good stories, right?  :)

We feel blessed to have such a supportive family, friends, and church community, and we ask that you pray for our family as we welcome home our son Zeke.
