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 :)
