News we've all been waiting for...



It is with immense pleasure, joy and thankfulness that Erika and I would like to introduce you to the next Fertig…

Emma Hope

We accepted the referral of a little girl who will turn three the beginning of April.  She has some minor physical needs, but cognitively, emotionally, and socially seems to be doing really well.

Her name comes from Erika’s great grandmother Emma Josephine Hopen.  As well, we feel her middle name reminds us of all the years we’ve waited for this to happen… in hope. 

Pray that we would be able to bring her home by July!
Pray too for our next few months of transition, waiting and other news.  There is A LOT going on for us right now…  and that leads me to…
We’re coming back to the states for an extended time!  Probably in the beginning of May.  We’ll update you more on this, but for now keep us in your prayers and THANK YOU, THANK YOU so much for your ever faithful love and support for us through these years and into the future!  

We'll post pictures as soon as the paperwork is accepted and processed from the Chinese government.  Pray our "Letter Of Acceptance" comes quickly!

She has been and will continue into eternity to…
                Grow in our hearts.
