This is our precious Gracie Ya Li

The red thread connects our hearts to those we love in China.  There are many children that we love; two have stolen our hearts and we are working diligently to make them ours forever!  

Our story matches our motto: Love Grows a Family!  We are late bloomers!  We are the Tilton family.  Through many struggles and heartaches the Lord gave us two wonderful kids.
We had our daughter when I was 29 years old and our son was born when I was 39 years old.  How appropriate it is that as I turned 49 we are in the process of growing our family again.  God has opened our hearts to adoption and He has opened our minds to the millions of children and teens who live without hope of a family.   

Our desire is to share our hearts with you as we follow the red thread to where are hearts will be filled and we will have the opportunity to pour our hearts into the lives of these precious children.  

Each step we have taken so far has been laid out and doors opened.  We are continuing in faith that the Lord will lead and guide us every step of the way.
