I have been traveling over the past 48 hours...going first to the Capital city to meet up with our oldest daughter...Butterfly (19 y.o. College student)...
Then she and I flew to another province to visit an orphanage run by some foreigners here...we were there less than 24 hours, but what an awesome time it was! I promise we'll post more about that soon...
So, tomorrow is Friday. At 5:30 PM today, on Thursday, we got the final call...
"You may come to the civil affairs office meet your sons tomorrow morning at 10 AM!"
On the very last day, after working hours, the final piece of the puzzle was placed...and our brood will grow by 2...in only 10 hours!
After arriving home tonight we had to make all the calls, arrange a car, sort out finances...and try to let is settle in that He has done it...just as He said He would...and 3 DAYS EARLY...(we thought we couldn't get the boys until Monday, June 14th...but instead...it's Friday, the 11th.)
We pick the boys up at 10 am...then hurry back to the school with them to attend Potato and Brownie's kindergarten graduation! (And today, is Brownie's 6th birthday! Happy birthday precious girl!)
Though we knew He would do it...still, we're marveling at it all...and praising Him...
I promise, we'll post pictures and videos tomorrow...when these two boys' change our lives forever and we finally have them in our arms!
Pray that they're little hearts will be ready for the family that has been longing for them for months now!
Stay tuned!

All I can say is AWESOME! Can't wait to meet the new little ones. I read your blog, but don't often comment. Sorry! We love you all and miss you. We are doing well - busy, but that's automatic when you have kids, even just two. Sarah turned 13 yesterday - what a work her father is doing in her. I couldn't ask for a better teenager. So blessed!
Oh, you guys - this news is FANTASTIC!! We are all so excited for your whole family! We, too, are continually amazed at the wonderful, perfectly-timed hand of our living God as He cares for His children! We're looking forward to seeing you soon!! Love you guys!! The Syvertsons
Amazing! We are so excited for you and we can't wait to see photos!

Oh, hallelujah! What an amazing testimony of God's greatness. I just finished reading your story and I am in awe of your perseverance and determination and God's response. This is one of the hardest tests of all~knowing your children are out there and you can't parent them, yet. Were you able to get a deal on the Pearl River apts? You did get my contact number, I hope!? Blessings to you all. How very very exciting!

We have gotten acquainted with friends of yours who told us to pray for you this week...we did and rejoice with you in the answered prayer of two new little boys for your family!
In His name,
Jill F. from the Pacific NW mom to 8 (praying for another one to be added by adoption this month)
To him who is able to do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine! He did it! Wow! Thanks and can't wait to see pics.
Joy, Joy, Joy!!!
Celebrating with you.
Praying for you.
What an amazing testimony to God's faithfulness to bring about that which he purposed for your family. We simply can't wait to see pictures and even better, we can't wait to meet you when we come to Wuhan!
