save the date

save the date all you blog stalkers!


we're headed to China!


i haven't had a chance to buy tickets yet, but the itinerary states that we travel on March 10 with a Gotcha of March 12.


thanks for all the prayers and support. we truly couldn't have been on this walk without our community. you kept us bolstered through the waiting times, cheered us on when we hit important dates, tutored us through the paperchase, rejoiced with us through the happy times, and prayed us through the hard times.


hold on girls...we'll be there for you in 13 days!!!! we can't wait to hold you in our arms.

LORD, I SEE YOUR PLAN. IT IS INDEED PERFECT. THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. TODAY, I ASK THAT YOU BLESS BAO AND XI'S BIRTH MOTHERS. WOULD YOU LET THEM KNOW SOMEHOW THAT THEIR DAUGHTERS ARE SAFE AND LOVED AND OFF TO THEIR NEW LIFE IN AMERICA? THANK YOU FOR THESE WOMEN, FORGIVE THEM ANY TRANSGRESSIONS, AND HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS. WE GLORIFY YOU. WE KNOW HOW BIG YOU ARE AND HOW YOU HAVE THE POWER TO MOVE ANY AND ALL MOUNTAINS THAT STAND IN OUR WAY. CONTINUE TO USE US AS YOUR HEART, VOICE, AND HANDS. WE ARE YOUR FAITHFUL SERVANTS AND WE LOVE YOU, ABBA. AMEN.
