We have a new family blog! We will be posting family updates and travel to our newest gift from China! www.strandfam.blogspot.com

With thankful hearts we praise God for His faithfulness and answered prayer in leading us to our daughter in China.

We invite you to share in our journey to our precious daughter Esther Li Lyn.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above." James 1:17

"For You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.  My frame was not hidden from from You when I was made in the secret place.  When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.  All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalm139:13-11
