China or Bust!

Packed and ready to go!

We did it! We got all five of us packed and ready to go with time to spare!!! It was a group effort with minor meltdowns along the way, but we are READY! We have to leave tomorrow morning at 4:30am so there will be no last minute morning packing! We are all so excited, I hope we sleep:) 

One week from today we should be meeting our sweet Benjamin and welcoming him into our family! Thank you so much to all of you that commented that you will be praying for us, you have no idea how much we appreciate those prayers! We are going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible so you guys can follow along and know how things are going on our journey. 

So many of you have called and texted me and that has been such an encouragement and blessing to me even though I haven't had the chance to call or text most of you back! I am so sorry about that, I have been trying hard to focus on getting everything ready to go and I feel like I am ignoring my sweet family and friends. I am not ignoring you and every single message has been heard or read, I just haven't had the time to respond! Please know how thankful I am for all of you and how much I wish I had an extra 20 hours every day!

Ok, there are still some loose ends to tie up and some kiddos that are staying here that need some extra snuggles and love tonight, so off we go! Thank you all again for your support and prayers. We give God all of the glory for the opportunity to adopt another one of His precious children! Thank you Jesus for your grace, mercy, love and faithfulness thus far on our journey to our boy!

Love, 

Patti and Family:)
