GOING TO GET JAMES!!

We are packed.

We are ready.

We can't wait to go!

Our prayers were answered!

We received our Travel Approval on Friday, September 27th - 

the last day possible before China's big holiday!

So we have had 10 days to pray, plan, and pack for this WONDERFUL trip!

It's so hard to believe that after a year and a half,

after months of waiting,

days of praying,

hours of crying,

we will be smiling, laughing, and cuddling with our son.

We will be united with him on October 14.

We leave tomorrow!

 TOMORROW!

Please pray with us for safety, good health, good sleep, beautiful moments,

but most of all, for James.  Pray that his heart will be prepared for all the change he is about to endure.

Pray he will begin to trust us, to bond with us, to attach to us.

Pray that Brad and I will have the wisdom and patience to meet his needs.

Pray that the girls will have the stamina, joy, and patience for this trip.

Pray for love to abound in each of us.

Thank you sweet friends and our dear family for walking this journey with us

 - for all your love, support, and prayers.

We are so excited!
