We are excited to introduce you to our daughter, RaeAn Li Crowson. We are also excited to celebrate Matthew’s 11th birthday! What a special day. As you can see, RaeAn is exhausted. They said she cried for three hours this morning all the way to meet us in Nanchang (about a three hour drive).
Matthew sang her to sleep…. so sweet.
This afternoon is legal paperwork finalizing the adoption. I’ll post more pictures tonight!
Oh, I was able to ask the Director ALL of the questions that we wanted to ask! I got to the bottom of the list and said, wow, I’m done! Another answered prayer!

Welcome to the family sweet little girl. Not only are you blessing us, we will be blessed by you. Aunt Dot
Murphy and Christine,
We are so thrilled for your family! So you are in Nanchang?! Do you know that is the same province as our daughter, Anna, as well as Emma Nash? Our daughter was from Fengcheng. Where is RaeAn from?
RaeAn is so beautiful. Will you be back from furlough in February? We’ve hosted a Chinese New Year celebration the past two years here and would love for your family to join us.
Your patience has paid off in eternal ways.
All our best,
Jen and Dano
We are so happy for you all!! What a precious picture of RaeAn Li and Matthew!! May God continue to go before you, meeting each and all of your needs and desires in China.
Love in Jesus, Debby & Chuck & Jean-Luc
