We leave in 9 days. Wow. 9 days to get 6 people ready to fly to China for two weeks to adopt little brother. Join us here and we will keep you updated with info and pictures of our trip. We especially covet your prayers. Here is a list of prayer requests from this mommy's heart:
- Preparation for Luke's heart and mind. I often pray that God puts our faces and voices in his dreams and for God to hold him and protect him.
- Luke's transition and adjustment as he is taken from everything he's ever know by people he may not remember.
- Our ability to help him grieve, if necessary, and our ability to not take it personally, especially the kids.
- Logistics...long flights, paperwork, "what have we forgotten"...
- Katherine's health - management of her nut allergy and finding food she can eat.
- Andrew's health - smog sets off his asthma...and China is SMOGGY!
- Health and strength for the rest of us.
- Good attitudes and good relationship building through tough situations.
- Our visas/passports to arrive in time!
Thanks to everyone who has prayed for us and supported us through this journey. We're almost there!
Sorry about the double pictures. I'm still trying to figure out this blog!
ReplyDeleteHe has grown so much! What has not changed is the wonderful smile. I pray for God's blessings on you all. What is so exciting is thinking about how God brought you all together, how He planned before Lukas was formed in his biological mother's womb to bring him into a Christian family. I am firmly convinced that God meant for Lukas to be part of your family so he could be part of the family of God. Jane
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for Andrew and your family. Tell Andrew I've been thinking about him all summer. I can't wait to meet Luke.
