We are so very close to bringing James home.
Just one more step!
We are praying we would get our Travel Approval from the Chinese government this week,
before their week long fall holiday. (please pray with us!)
Just a couple of days before we started our wait for TA, we got our final update on James.
We knew to expect one but we didn't know when we would get it
or that it would be such wonderful news!
Since the day we were matched with James, we have not known if he could stand, walk or would be able to in the foreseeable future.
In the first picture we received he is
STANDING!
Standing holding on to a unstable bouncy ball!
To say we were over the moon excited and encouraged is an understatement.
It felt like the sweetest gift from the Lord to receive this at this point in our journey.
A reminder of all that God has done for us and all the beautiful plans He has for James.
Isn't he the cutest ever?!
We were so excited and encouraged by these pictures!
I cannot wait to kiss those angel lips!
It's been a long road.
This road has been bumpy but beautiful,
long but enriching,
touch but incredibly encouraging.
And the best part of this wonderful journey has been the excitement and glory of the destination.
So we keep our eyes focused on the light at the end of the tunnel
and wait with patience and hope that we are near the end.
At the end of waiting, waiting, waiting to be with James
and at the beginning of having him in our family. Forever.
