Never to be a family of 5 again ... YEAH !!!
I am signing off till I reach China ... My to do list is growing and my time is winding down and need to focus on the kiddos for the next 7 days...I am leaving Nov. 4th and Gotcha Day is Nov. 7th, and I arrive back home on Nov. 18th at 4:30. I am taking my computer, so I hope to updated the blog or email ...
Please pray for Maggie, myself and my friend Kristie as we travel. Pray for our health, pray for Maggie to like her mama, pray the web cams work, so Maggie can see her daddy and brothers and sisters, pray for Scott and kids at home, pray for my friend Suzanne, who will be helping out tremendously with my kids while I am gone(she has 5 of her own).
I am so grateful for you all and I appreciate more than you know you prayers and words of encouragement !!!! The next time you hear from me I will have my sweet daughter !! Thank you Lord for this amazing journey and please protect us as only the Father can.

Wishing you all the best on your journey to hold your daughter Maggie in your arms!
Just a little reminder that Verna's shower is tomorrow!
Is sweet Maggie in her Mama's arms yet? I know you said the 3rd but in China it is the 3rd. I didn't know if you meant our 3rd or theirs. lol
I am thinking of you both and praying for you. Oh, how wonderful and blessed we are when the Lord gives us a miracle.
Safe Journey.
