We're Packing!!!!!!!!!!


At last - we received this beautiful document in the mail from Beijing. We have been invited to come and unite with our son! It is almost surreal at this point. Plans are beginning to become clear and I will post more on those very soon. But I had to take a moment to share this with you all!

And the most amazing thing is happening. My bestest good friend Carol and her husband Cal are going to be in China meeting their son at the same time we are. And the even more amazing part of this is that we have appointments at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou China on THE EXACT SAME DAY! We started this process months apart and have not requested any favors at all - and we will be there on July 15th to take an oath at the U.S. Consulate together.

Please, do not doubt God's presence at work in your life. This has been such an up and down process - but we've been convicted repeatedly. And now - the plan is revealed. It is beautiful and we are humbled by God's attention to every small detail. I pray that each of you experiences His amazing love - in a way that you cannot doubt. There are not words adequate enough to describe it when it happens to you.

Both of our children have come into our lives in the most beautiful ways. There were people that have struggled and hurt in both situations and it wasn't easy to live God's plan at times -but what glory we see in our daughter's smile and our son's eyes! Life is precious when it is lived for Him.
