Update

It's already Friday. Next Friday we'll be in China, preparing to meet Hope in her province. It's impossible to express the emotions that run through your mind at a time like this so I won't even make the effort. Just know that we're excited that God has provided, through His people, the financial means to adopt this child, and the emotional support to wait out the process. Now please pray that Hope will know the Lord, that, as Kevin prayed last night, both her physical and spiritual heart will be healed, and that our family will sacrificially love one another whatever trials may come. Countdown? Six days until departure.

Countdown to Hope

One month from today, we'll be meeting Hope for the very first time. After three years of praying, waiting, and preparing for her, it's hard to believe that the time has nearly come to add this little blessing to our lives. We'll fly into Beijing, then travel to her province to meet Hope and complete some court work, then to Guangzhou for doctor's appointments and visa processing. After fifteen days (total) we'll fly home out of Hong Kong. Please continue to pray for Hope as we ready for her arrival!
