When they brought the babies into the room, Andrew picked her out immediately! She was the baby without much hair, just like her referral photos! It is amazing how in the space of one moment your life can change and your arms can be full instead of empty! All the babies were howling away at the same time and it was so pitiful. Andrew said if they didn't soon stop he was going to join them! I am amazed all over again at what we are doing!! It is so incredibly neat!! We love our baby so much and she is becoming more a part of us every day! I can't wait to bring her home to my other children, but it is nice that Andrew and I have this time to hog her all to ourselves! :) Anyway, my advice to all of you is... go adopt a baby from China!!! IT is a WONDERFUL BLESSING!!! :) And a VERY eye-opening experience!!”

China Adoption - Welcome Home
“The last year has been an incredible journey for all of us. Just to watch her grow and discover the world around her. I am writing this letter mostly just to thank you for all that you did in helping us receive this awesome gift. Thank you for devoting your life to this ministry.”
"Years of disappointment and heartache disappeared when we met our beautiful daughter Haley for the first time, in China. Our once empty hearts are now full of love for the special blessing we received. The adoption process, the trip to China, and our bonding with our daughter, could not have gone more smoothly. We will forever be grateful to God and to the Open Door Adoption Agency for the opportunity we were given and the path that lead us to the greatest joy in our lives!"
”We can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had in working with Barbara and AOD when we adopted from China! Throughout the entire process, Barbara answered all our questions quickly and professionally. We were well prepared when it came time to travel - AOD had handled ALL the arrangements during our stay in China. We are extremely blessed to have had this incredible opportunity to adopt again - our little girl is a precious gift from God!”
"We wanted to adopt our child through a Christian agency so we would know that the money spent was being used in a way that would please God. Jane Gilbert was so kind and walked us through all of the programs, domestic and foreign. When we decided to adopt from China, we were introduced to Barbara. Barbara was very kind and conducted our home study. She was very flexible and personable. Now, both of our daughters from China are Open Door Babies. Kevin, their father, now serves on the Board of Directors. Open Door serves many children by finding them loving homes and serves many birth mothers by assuring that their children find loving families. Most importantly, Open Door serves God by loving others and being good stewards of time and money."
