Journey to JADE

This is our incredible journey to adopt our daughter You Fu Rong from Youyang China. We call her Jade. She has been living in the Youyang Childrens Welfare Institue with wonderful caregivers. We could not have gone through this journey without all the faith and prayers of family and friends and welcome you to join with us in China as we bring her home to her forever family. "The Lord had one great things for us, and we are filled with joy". Psalm 126:3

READY SET GO

Well as you can tell by the time of this post I am pushing everything to the last minute. Actually as I look at it I have 7 hours until I have to go to the airport. Plenty of time. I not only want to be utterly prepared I want to be utterly tired so that I can sleep on the dreaded flight ahead. I hope they have good movies.
I am a bit melancholy tonight . It has always been very difficult for me to leave my children for any period of time. Ask Brent, it took several years for us to go on a date after Bailey was born. They are such a blessing in my life and I just adore them all. I do know however that they will be in very capable hands and I want to publicly thank all of those who will care for them. I love you for watching my most precious possessions.
I thought it might be interesting for you to see a copy of our schedule so you can keep up with what we are doing each day.

Wow what an amazing trip and what an amazing souviner. We can not even wait until the 20th!! We have heard that some people have had problems with posting to their blogs while in china. They say the Chinese view blogs as to "Western" We hope and pray that we do not have this problem. We love you all see you in a few weeks.
