Welcome to the Stokes Family blog! I have set this up to blog about our family (outside of Facebook); more specifically our latest member waiting for us in China. Soon we will go to China to adopt William Samuel Huaibaio Stokes (Liam for short). He is 5 years old and deaf. At this time, we do not know how he is communicating other than gestures. We are anxious to get him here so he can have a family and start learning language. The whole family is thrilled about seeing him soon. It'll be a few more months I'm sure. We will post news and updates on our progress as we get it! Thanks for following us!
