'We had been married for over 10 years, and we didn't really think we wanted to have children,' Ormsby said. 'Then, I saw a picture of a little Chinese girl in a magazine and I just felt like God spoke to my heart.
'I remember being very emotional and very touched by the whole thing. I just felt like this was what we were supposed to do.
'I told my husband about it a couple of days later and he said, 'Well, I figured if we would ever have children we would adopt, but China? Are you sure?'
'But we prayed about it for a couple of weeks, and it turned out to be a pretty easy decision for us. We didn't have to choose a country. We just knew that it was what we wanted.'
The Ormsbys are part of a group in central Illinois, Forever Families of Asian Children, designed to share insights and provide an opportunity for their adopted kids to interact and learn about their heritage.
