Maren Xi En


With great joy in what God has done we announce our referral, Maren Xi En (pronounce Mar as is in Mars. Xi=She En= Un). She was born November 15, 2009 weighing 5 lbs. 1 oz. Maren means 1. pearl, 2. of the sea, 3. wished for child. We plan to call her Meg. It will take somewhere between 4-12 months to bring her home. Please pray with us that the Lord will help our process, give us favor with the judge, watch over our documents as they travel to and from Taiwan. Also, pray that He will prepare us to love Maren, and prepare Maren for us. Maren's mommy is in mourning. She loves her daughter very much. Pray that she will know the unfailing love of our Lord. She wants the best for Maren's future. We hope that we can give it to her. Lord, lead us.

Psalm 68:5 & 6, "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His Holy dwelling. God sets the orphans into families."

  1. Congratulations!! I"m glad to finally see her picture on here...she is just adorable! We continue praying God allows things to move quickly through court. And we will be praying for Maren's birthmom...Zoe's birthmom sounds very much like Maren's. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for them. We'll be praying

  2. Oh, Beth, I am SO excited and have goosebumps, as you announce your referral of Maren. God has an amazing plan for little Maren as He prepares to place her in the arms of her forever family. I will be praying for the details of everything that must take place between now and that wonderful day when your eyes meet for the first time.
    Praising God for His magnificent plan,
    Janet
