Well, right now this very minute now, you are somewhere over the north pole. And if I remember right, China is 12 hours ahead of us. So it's about 4:00 am in China. Anyway, just want you two to know that we are covering you in prayer the whole time you are gone, knowing that God will continue to work out all the details from the very biggest to the very smallest. And soon . . . VERY soon . . . you will be holding that sweet little girl in your arms. It's been a long journey, and a little frustrating at times, but the joy you are about to experience is so hard to put into words and is unlike anything you've ever experienced before. You are in for such a treat! Lainey will soon look into her mommy's and daddy's eyes for the very first time. And it will be a moment you will remember forever. The moment when she is united with her forever family has been part of God's plan from before the beginning of time. What a huge blessing for all of you. Enjoy your time in Lainey's birth country, and take lots of pictures. Oh, and remember to pick up a copy of the local paper on July 2nd. Love and Hugs!
