Amy....I finally got around to catching up on e-mails and found the link you send me a long time ago. What a treasure! Thanks so much for sharing. Let Julia know I'll sure miss teaching her this year. She was a treasure! Blessings to you and your sweet family!

Will & Amy....what a joy to read your story. You are an amazing young family and I truly admire what you've accomplished with and for God's family. His abundant mercy and grace is never ending. Blessings as you continue to shower your growing family with love. (We love Betty for sharing with our prayer group and sending us your website!)

What an amazing journey of LOVE and blessings for your whole family as you welcome Xin into your hearts and lives. I laughed and cried (tears) with joy as I read the story! May God hold your family in the palm of his hand and may you be blessed with a lifetime of beautiful tomorrows!

I can't believe that I have finally found this site and read your amazing journey. I was with Betty and Bill tonight and enjoyed hearing their stories about the whole process and details about all four kids! I couldn't wait to get home to read it all. Your story and the emotions you share are so touching. I am going to share this site with friends in our Sunday School class who are in the process of adopting a special needs boy from China. When you guys come visit in the 'Boro, I will have to introduce you. That means you have to see me first. :) Your family of six is beautiful, and I can't wait to see all of you soon! (P.S. Will - I don't know if you realize it but we missed our 25th class reunion. I can't believe that we had one every 5 years and then didn't do the "big one", but I have just been too busy this past year to get it organized. I'll try to work on it for the fall.)

You made it! I prayed that you would, and you did. When I get a chance tomorrow I will call Julia to hear all about it! Welcome Home!

Welcome Home!!! I just wish a had a dollar for every time I was asked "When do we get to see/play with the Hatchers?" I could start a college fund :) I literally had to lock the doors to keep them from ringing your doorbell at 7 a.m.! Let the fun begin...Now we really have a soccer/baseball/football team!
