It is with great excitement that I present to you the story of my sister... AnnaClaire's Story! It is quite long (30 minutes) but I hope that you will take the time to watch it. I worked a looooooooooooooong time on this and I hope everyone enjoys it! Please turn the volume up as there is music. To shut off the song playing in the background right now, click the X by the refresh button. It is my greatest hope that by sharing AnnaClaire's story, someone will felt lead to adopt from China. Feel free to comment below! (I love comments!)
With lots of love,
AnnaClaire's PROUD Sissy
By the way, a big thanks to Staci for the info on how to load a large video on to Google Video! If it weren't for her, I don't know if/when this would ever get posted! :)
Also, I am putting the date for this video a year in advance so it will appear at the top of the page for awhile. Keep checking below this post because there will be newer posts. Once it's been awhile, I will switch it to the right date.
UPDATE: Someone has asked me what the last song was. Here are the songs (in order).
1. ”When God Made You" by Newsong
2. "When Love Takes You In" by Steven Curtis Chapman
3. "You'll be In My Heart" (the Tarzan version) by Philip Collins & Mark Mancina
4. "Swept Away" by Geoff Moore
5. "Greatest Of These" by Chuck & Lynette Giacinto (they just came home with their girl from China in December!)
6. "Orphans Of God" by Avalon
7. "Child Of My Heart" by Becky Wright & Tommy Brandt
8. "Arms Of Love" by Sandi Padilla
A lot of these songs appear on the "Spirit of Adoption" c.d. that you can buy here.

Emily,
What an awesome tribute to AnnaClaire. You can just feel the love all of you share.
I love that little ladybug hairbrush. Can I ask where you found it?
also, I about had a heart attack watching the driving in China. For a minute there I thought there was going to be a head on collision. Guess I better get used to closing my eyes. :-)
Again.. GREAT video!
Emily!!! Well done! What a powerful video. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with the rest of of us. I really wish our families could have traveled together, but you've done an amazing job of sharing your family's journey to AnnaClaire with us. Your parents are very blessed to have you as their daughter! Many blessings to you, Amy Ivey (one of your Mom's Chatty Girls)
Oh Emily, you did a beautiful job. What a change in AnnaClaire from that scared baby on gotcha day to that smiley sweet girl now.
Beautiful job Emily! It is just amazing to see the bond made between you all in such a short time. God is so good!!! You are such an awesome big sis!!!
Had to 'delurk' for this video - I have one word...AMAZING!
Hi Emily,
You did an awesome job on the video. I remember all the places that are in the video and as I was watching this video all those emotions came flooding back. Thanks for the memories.

Hi from Houston! What a FABULOUS job on AnnaClaire's Story! Emily, it's amazing! People are going to be flocking to China to adopt these precious little girls. My two favorite spots - GOTCHA and the footage at the airport. What a lovely party. God's love was everywhere and shines through the Horner family to AnnaClaire. The video is the icing on your blog. I will remain a loyal viewer. Betsey
Emily -this is amazing. Thank you for sharing this with us...and most of all, AnnaClaire is going to thank you when she gets older. It's so very obvious this was made with love!
AnnaClaire is a doll. I am smitten!! I hope to travel Spring..Early Summer to get my Lilly. I watched the video & just cried as I realized the hope & the beauty you have brought to AnnaClaire's life....and she to yours!
God Bless You!
