Goodbye from China





Well this will be the last post from China. Our internet subscription will run out at 6pm tomorrow night. We will leave for Hong Kong Tuesday after we receive Jayden's visa. We will spend one evening and one night in Hong Kong before returning to the US on Wednesday. We are SO HOMESICK. Jayden has not felt well today. I think he is trying to get a cold. UCK! This is a picture of our whole group (Lifeline and small world). On the red couch are all the children that were adopted by our group. As you can see Jayden was having a bad day. The other little boy having a bad day is Caleb Mann from Alex City. The next blog entry till be after we return home. Thank you all for your prayers for us and especially for Jayden. We appreciate all of your support. This has been a long and hard process, and some of you know the heartbreak that we have had to endure during this process. God has been faithful to us and has brought us through. The moment Jayden climbed into my arms made every hurt ease. I have never been more certain that this is the path that God had intended for Brian and me from before time began. God knew that our little boy would be born a world away and that He would reunite us in His timing. We give all the praise and glory to God for placing this child into our family. He is such a joy and a blessing.

Yea, you're almost home!!! I don't blame those precious little children for not always being agreeable--they've been through so much lately. How joyful they'll be to settle into loving, secure homes! That's fantastic about Jayden's weight gain! I think of him as 20 x 30 (lbs. x lenth--almost :-) Can you believe Elijah's about 18 lbs. @ 3 mos! I believe Jayden will be catching up by leaps & bounds. Can hardly wait to hear more about him, as ya'll settle in. Praying for your safe, smooth trip home, love, Terry
