We received official Travel Approval (TA) from China yesterday morning! We will be headed to China this week! We'll meet Abigail on Monday (Sunday evening TX time)!
We are a little overwhelmed with what we have to get done before we leave, but oh so excited! Thank you for your prayers! We are so grateful that God chose to act now and answer those prayers by doing just what we asked! It truly has been a miracle to see things unfold as they have in such critical timing. Even with our paperwork being delayed in Anchorage and then Japan last week, China approved our TA in just the right time! Only the One True God could orchestrate such a turn of events...and all of the glory is His!
We aren't sure if we will be able to post to this blog while in China, so we're working on some other ideas. If you've been to China and blogged while there, any advice would be most helpful...we're looking for the least expensive option??? :) We will email if nothing else, and then post when we return.
We humbly ask that you continue to lift Abigail and us to the Father in prayer. Here are some of our specific prayer requests:
- Healing for Abigail
- Bonding and attaching with our Abigail
- Safe travel to China and back
- Abigail's province to set earlier appointments for paperwork processing so that we can get her home sooner
- Monte's knee to heal and recover full range of motion - he's prepared to be miserable during travel to meet his little girl :)

PS We are going to email our blog posts to our oldest son while we are in China -- and he will post them on our blog. Do you have someone who would do that for you?
Praise God!!!!!!!! Oh, only a little while until Abigail is in your arms! I will be praying and know that the Lord will be in every tiny detail. We used pandalily (I think you have the link) while in China and it worked well but I didn't set it up so not sure how that works. You would be welcome to use our pandalily account if you want! I could give you our username and password, it all worked great over there and I would be happy to help from here too.
SO thrilled for you and excited for all the Lord is doing, He has big plans for your special little girl!

Wonderful news !! and Very fast !
We will be praying for you and Abigail. Many blessings !!
Oh Congratulations! This is great news. We used an Mac acct but you can also email to your blogger acct. You won't be able to see what others write until you get back, but you can still send updates. The other option is to email everything to a friend and have them do it for you. If you have a Mac though, you can create a web page and post with that and that worked perfect for us. Good luck.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I am SOOOO excited for you!! Go get that sweet little girl home!
Oh, this is wonderful! I've been praying for Abigail and for all of you! I can't wait to see your little girl in your arms. Our God truly does move mountains!
Many blessings as you prepare to travel.

PRAISE GOD!!! Can't wait until we see her in your arms!!! Godspeed!
About the blog, could you email to a friend/family member who could post for you? That would be free and I've seen others doing it. There is also an option in blogger where you email your posts and they are posted. Not sure how it works though.
Awesome news! I just love watching the Lord do his work! We will be praying for you all.
Can't wait to see her in your arms....praying you get to post pictures soon AND praying for attachment/bonding most of all. Love you guys.
