Today we got 99% confirmation from our adoption agency that we will be traveling to China in early January to bring our little girl home forever! This news came as quite a surprise because we were thinking February would be more likely with Chinese New Year being in late January. But, they squeezed us in before all the government offices close in the latter part of the month.
We are thrilled to be able to bring all three of our children with us on this journey! My parents have offered to go along and help us with the kids and bring the older three home after one week being in China. This will allow them to get back to a routine and meet us at the airport when we arrive home a week later!
Our hope is that this trip will be a blessing to all our hearts. We are anxious to have our daughter home so that her heart can get the medical attention it needs, we hope our other childrens' hearts will be forever changed as a result of seeing the world and the needs of orphans around the world, and that our hearts will become more like Christ's by making this journey of joyful sacrifice for our precious daughter.
Praise God!
