Drawing of our family by our friend, Mariana
My family and I are so excited to announce that we are adopting a little girl from China! We just received word from our social worker last night that we will be traveling to China in 8 days to get her. I have been wanting to share this news on the blog for some time but wanted to wait until we were ready to go. We started the process over a year ago and after an incredibly arduous year of paperwork, training and counsel we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! God has been so gracious to our family during this time, and we feel so blessed to be adding this precious little one to our family.
We expected to get our travel approval by early June and had planned to travel after my stretch of early summer weddings. We were shocked to get our approval last night and we will now get to travel before my next wedding on June 11th. 
This slogan was started by the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce in the 1960's. It will truly be nice to have our new little girl in Birmingham!
To celebrate this exciting news, we are selling all of our new ABP t-shirts online for $25. All shirts are American Apparel and the proceeds will go towards our family's travel to China!

We even have Kids & Youth sizes!
Our boys will be having a lemonade stand this Saturday, May 21st, to raise money for their trip to get their sister! We will be selling t-shirts at the lemonade stand as well! It's from 10am-1pm at our home. Send an email to contest[at]abryanphoto[dot]com if you want to come and I'll send you directions! We would appreciate your thoughts and prayers at this time. Thanks for you support!

The Georgia hangers-on and riff raff are excited too. What great news! So glad God has placed this precious little girl in your family.
