Good source for News in China...

Can you believe people live like this? It just breaks my heart :(
They are called cage homes...these are in Hong Kong...a story I found on this website. It's very interesting and good information on current events in China:)

Our Visa's are back...one step closer!

We just picked up our passports from our agency and they have a Chinese Visa now!!! It's so exciting to see that Visa in there...every step it becomes more "Real". Hopefully this week we will get news on our Article 5...and then our travel dates!! We also got some news on Faith...it seems she is struggling with tonsillitis. We are told she gets it very often. I am thinking she will need her tonsils out when she gets home... do they even do that anymore? We have been much more specific in our prayers for her with this new information :) Wow this wait is testing my patience!

Gratefully I have our other children to keep me busy...I don't know how couples handle the wait when it's their first child :)

Our toddler shower! Faith is one loved girl!!!

Good Fortune!

I am so blessed, my friends are having me a shower tonight!!! I also got this fortune the other day...we are getting so close, I am trying not to get overly excited because I don't want to get disapointed if we don't travel by Christmas, but with these two fortunate events happening back to back, I can't help myself!!! We could be in China soon!!! Thanks to everyone for their wonderful support and love!

Heaven is The FACE

Steven Curtis Chapman adopted a little girl from China, then lost her in a tragic accident in 2008. This song was written from that tragedy. We have two very close friends who have also lost their young daughters.

and dear Mara (http://maraadams.com/) This song reminded me of their families and their sweet daughters.
