Finally... headed to China

In 10 hours, our plane takes off for China.  We can't believe this day is here.  Mixed emotions fill our hearts as we leave our kids here (in great hands with grandparents) and go to bring our little Kaili home.  We can't wait to see her and hold her.

Since China blocks a lot of the regular websites that we use to communicate I have a dear friend who will be giving updates from my Facebook page and possibly this blog... our emails should work over there and we have a lot of down time as we are waiting for appointments and what-not so please feel free to email us and check in (either samson880@bellsouth.net or pastordan@bellsouth.net).

Thank you to so many of you who have expressed encouragement about our adoption over the past 15 months.  Many of you have been so gracious and committed to pray for us (and her) and that means so much.  Also thank you for those who sacrificed in order to partner with us in this endeavor. We are grateful.

God is so good and through all parts of our lives may He be given all honor, glory, and praise...

4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

-Galatians 4:4-7

God bless you all,
