The day is finally here! We have a daughter!
Introducing Geneiveve Faith Ruran Harter
She is 15 months old and from North China
At 12 months she weighed 15.4lbs and was 25ins long.
She is shy, but sometime impatient and enjoys being held.
We hope to travel and bring her home in about four months. After all this waiting I'm sure the next several months will come and go quickly. Although in some ways it will be more difficult because now we have a face match to our prayers and each day that we wait she get one day older.
God has blessed us abundantly and it is to Him that we give all the glory. We fully believe that He placed the desire in our hearts for this adoption and that He promised us to bring us to our daughter. He is faithful and amazing!! Thank you God for your promise fulfilled.
Please join us in praying that Genei will be well cared for and loved while she waits for us and that everything else (travel, finances, paperwork, care for the boys while we're gone) will be worked out smoothly.
In Christ's Love
The Harter Family
