As we come to the end of 2016 I thought it would be fun to visit a few highlights from the year.

On the blog some of our most popular posts this year were this one and this one. And you know what? The best news isn't that they were popular posts, but that the children are coming home! Reagan will meet her family in early January and Lewis' family is getting closer to travel too!

May of 2016 there were more blog views than any other month in the history of the blog. But December is a close second and we still have a few days left in the month, so we may beat our record again this month.

We traveled to China and Taiwan twice this year. We met hundreds of kids. We published 273 posts on the blog this year. The vast majority of these were posts about children needing families.

We have met many new people this year too! In April we took our first "advocacy camp" group to China. With the huge Former Shared List program we were involved in we sent 4 groups of volunteers to orphanages all over China.

It has been a year of change and growth. We believe 2017 will bring many wonderful new things too. And we will be here blogging about all of it. Thank you for following and for sharing our posts!
