Well when things happen, they sure happen fast! The flights are booked and the airline tickets were purchased today - there is no turning back now, not that we'd ever want to! We are going to China! As far as we know, we will get Lilah on Monday 15th December 2008. Forever family day, forever Lilah day; the day that we become a family! It's amazing, our dreams are finally becoming reality. Praise be to God, our Father!
Yay! Get those suitcases dusted and packed. The Isaiah verse you posted on the Great Wall is fabulous. We'll be waiting to see a picture of Lilah on the red sofa!

Can't wait to follow your journey to your beautiful YangDong girl.
ReplyDeleteLike Sarah (Eliza's mom) I'd love to send you a letter and some updated photos of our beautiful Katie to deliver to the SWI Director when you meet the Lovely Lilah -- would that be okay?
If so, please email me your address and I'll get something in the mail right away..
