Prayers for Adoptive Family traveling with us

I'm asking for a special prayer from each of you right now. An adopted family that will be traveling with us is having a struggle! Their son maybe facing surgery prior to leaving, the husband is in the hospital right now, & the wife may have to travel alone. I know how overwhelmed we feel so I cannot imagine having 2 sick on top of it, the possibility of traveling while they are sick in the US & facing travel alone! They have flights planned & arrangements already made. Please pray for this family right now & for God to comfort them as only He can! God united our families as He knew we'd need each other for support! Pray for us that we will have the strength & knowledge to know how to be there for them at this time!

It's hard to believe we will be holding our GiGi in 10 days. She will have her FOREVER family & we will be able to hold our daughter (that we love so much) for the first time! It's a whirlwind here! We are trying to prepare all last min details before we leave - which is somewhat overwhelming. All the Glory to God! We are beyond excited! I'll post when I get a few seconds to stop! :0)

Wow, it's here!!!!!!!


Wow, it's here!!!!!!! 
It's REALLY here!!!! 
Overly EXCITED but Sooooo many emotions right now eventhough we've been preparing for over a year! We've never adopted nor been out of the US so these MS hillbillies will meet China next week - don't know if China is ready for us! lol
 I know God will provide & it's all in His hands! 
He will move all mountains!  


We will arrive in Beijing on, or before, 7/12/2012 (which puts us leaving by next Wednesday - flying close to 24 hours)


Consulate appointment confirmations for Group 1884- 

Consulate appointment is confirmed for 7/26/2012

O.k. my faithful prayer warriors, we REALLY need your prayers!  Thank you for being part of bring home our precious daughter!  Words are not enough!
