“Ni-haw!” (as my Chinese meets the south little gal would say).
So happy that you finally have dates. And I can hardly believe that you will be in GZ at the same time as one of my long time friends ~ who just happens to be next door neighbors with the family that is adopting Julia from AOW. Wish I was a stowe away on this trip!
Blessings to you!
Patty says
Sweet! April 10 was our gotcha day in Wuhan –in 2006! Be prepared for any sort of weather—we started with HEAT–wore capri’s and sandals…..2 days later the temps dropped unexpectedly into the upper 40’s/low 50’s and we were freezing!
Congratulations!!
Leigh says
She is just beautiful! So happy for you and how God has designed you and is sustaining you to be Mommy to many blessings!
