Trent told me several months ago that he thought we would get a call in January. Of course, I didn't believe him because that would mean dissapointment if he was wrong. Well, he was right!!!
America World called today around 1:15 and told us that they had a match for us through the shared referral program. After praying and consulting with a physician, we decided to move forward with locking the referral. The next step is to receive an acceptance from China and at that time I believe we can share her picture with all of our friends and family. We are supposed to travel to get her in 4-6 months.
What I can tell you is that she turned 2 in January. She is cute as a button. We are praying for healing with her specific special needs and that she will get the nutrition and attention she needs to grow and transition into our family perfectly. Please join us in praying for Ruthie Henderson.
I will post pictures and details as soon as I get the ok.
Also- I am going to take this information and place in her scrapbook so feel free to comment and leave her messages.

Ruthie!
Your parents have been praying for you over years and years (they've been pregnant in heart for a long time!) We have had the privilege of joining them in that prayer and rejoice with them in this great news! The chance of this is miraculous and God's sovereign plan for you, for your life is unfolding before our very eyes. Brett and I cannot wait to meet, hug and kiss you. Hattie and Lucy can't wait to put lots of make up on you and dress you up like a princess! We pray for lots of fun memories to come,
Love Brett, Em, Hattie and Lucy Mills
p.s. I just looked at the top of your page and the Chinese spelling for Ruth...did you notice the two crosses that look like they're in a window? neat
I knew it, too! I don't know why but when I asked you the other night if you had heard anything and you said no, my heart told me, soon, very soon!
Ruthie, you are fearfully and wonderfully made! The Lord has a plan for you, and He has chosen a family for you. Always remember that YOU are a part of HIS family, no matter what!
How wonderful! We are super excited to meet Ruthie and we are praying for an easy transition for everyone. God is sooooo good!
"Amen" to the Mills' prayer!
We're so blessed by this wonderful news and can't wait to meet little Ruthie face to face!

I can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am for all of you...I can't wait to meet our brand new neighbor! Love y'all!
Ginny,
I'm so excited about your news! How great to be a part of God's specific, good plans for Ruthie and the rest of the Hendersons. We will be praying for you during the rest of your time apart. We can't wait to meet her!!
Ruthie,
You are blessed to have such a wonderful family and they are blessed to have you. God loves you so much and so will your big brothers! Just call Carley when you need a break from the boys in your house!
Love, The Farringtons
Ginny,
I am so excited for you guys. I know multiple people who have adopted from China and I see what a blessing it is. I will be keeping you all and Ruthie in my prayers. I look forward to keeping up with your journey!
Ruthie,
You have two precious cousins in Little Rock who cannot wait to welcome you into their family. We have lots of fancy dresses from Granmary that will look just as beautiful on you, but more importantly we have lots of love we cannot wait to shower on you. We went to school with a little girl from China whom we loved, and we learned so much from her. We look forward to learning even more from you.
All our love,
Your cousins, Libby and Catherine
Yea God! I am so happy for your family and for little Ruthie. God's heart is all over caring for the Fatherless and He shows up when our hearts line up with His!
We're praying for ya'll!

Ginny & Ruth,
I'm so privileged to know about your journey and how God is bringing Ruth into the Henderson family. As I pray for you and your family from my home in South Africa, I know that God is working in your young life in China to transition you to your new life in America. This amazing God who created our world is your loving Father. I'm encouraged to see God's hand in your life Ruth, and I know that He has awesome plans and purposes for your life that will be more than you can ask or imagine.
I look forward to meeting you someday!

Praise God for sweet Ruthie! I can't wait to hear more.
When I saw the email titled Family News I hurried to open it knowing that it would say that Ginny was finally getting her Ruthie. I can't wait to see you and for you to play with my Bella who is not much younger than you. We are so excited to meet you, and hope you make it here by Bella's Birthday Party. We love you all...
