New Member of the Peters Family

The following note and photo are from Jim and Shelly Peters (Jim is the son of James and Jackie Peters, grandson of Roy and Edna Peters, and great-grandson of W.C. Peters):


For this Child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27


"Our hearts whispered a name...and God answered. With great joy and pleasure we announce the adoption of Caitlyn Anabelle Peters. Born January 10, 2007 in China. Adopted May 7, 2008 to the luckiest two people on earth...her parents, Jim and Shelly Peters.


"Caity is a wonderful child. We brought her home May 17, 2008 and continue to be amazed by her daily. She is a walking, talking, breathing example of how great our God is. He brought our family together while we lived on different sides of the earth and we have been truly blessed.


"We want everyone to know that we truly appreciate everything that so many have done to help us in the journey to bring our daughter home. She is our greatest adventure, our deepest joy, and our biggest blessing. We could not have done it without your prayers and support.


Behold, Children are a gift of the Lord. Psalm 127:3


Not Flesh of our flesh,

nor bone of our bone,

but still

miraculously our own...


"Proud Parents,

Jim and Shelly Peters"
