Prayer Requests

So here is a list of specific ways you can pray for us as we approach our trip to China
  • Our boys will be ready for a family.  From what we know, neither orphanage tells the kids ahead of time that they are being adopted.
  • Our flights will be smooth
  • Our flights aren't delayed - we fly through Newark airport
  • None of us get sick before or during our trip
  • My dad who is taking care of our 3 youngest for 3 weeks while we are gone - He's 78!!!!!
  • AT, SG and HJ won't miss us too badly while we are gone
  • Smooth adjustments of TJ and GW
  • Smooth adjustments of JA, AT, SG and HJ
  • Smooth adjustments for me and CP
  • We are able to communicate effectively with the boys
  • Jet lag has a minimal effect
We are pretty much ready to go. 
We packed yesterday - Carry on only!!!!
Picked up some cash today (though I think I'm going to pick up more tomorrow)
Set up Skype at home
Have transportation arrangements to/from the airport  - Thanks Mr. E!!!!

My focus this week is spending time with AT, SG and HJ before we leave.

Definitely praying! I can't believe how fast it seems to be going now. No more waiting on others. Yay! Praying for the boys. That they will be just as excited about getting a forever family as you are excited about adding them to your family. I will be anxiously waiting for you to update every day. :-) Try to enjoy the journey.
Love & Hugs!

I will be praying for all of you and am looking forward to following you on your trip. I can't believe you are all packed and ready to go. I also can't believe how all of it has come together so quickly. It is very exciting!

Well, Donna, how about you do some praying for us so our paperwork can start moving faster. I am sooo ready to get my BOYS...and we only started this process at Thanksgiving.
What a string of miracles you have!
