We are going to China! March 30, 2013

We have our Consulate appointment on April 11, 2013 which means that we will finally get to hold our beautiful daughter on April 1^st! We have been waiting so long to hold her, tell her how much we love her, and will always keep her safe.

2 weeks to finish everything in Cora’s and Sasha’s bedroom, finish making backpacks for the children that we are filling with gifts and treats, and shopping for the Ayi’s. I am very close to being done with all of the shopping and just need to find a way to get it all in one suitcase.

Then the hard part starts; being in a country when you do not know the language, being totally dependent on others to complete something so important to us. Having to keep calm, happy and smiling even though you are so scared something bad will happen and you will not be able to do anything about it. We just have to trust that we are doing what we were called to do and that the plan will work because it was meant to be. It is the hard times that show us how hard it can be to keep the faith.
