Today we received our travel packet from America World! Suddenly things are progressing very quickly.
We are thankful for the miracles God has wrought to bring us to this time! There is much to pray for; from provision for the trip and fees in China to safety while traveling, and a "spirit of adoption", not only for us, but for our little Sarah as well. We pray that somehow she will be glad to be a part of our family, (that she will like our dogs), that we can meet her needs, and be the God -chosen family for her.
Our agency has told us to be ready for travel, possibly as soon as in the next six weeks!

*This tote bag came along with our Travel Info!

I have just been looking at different growth charts, seeing where Sarah fits in and wondering what clothes size I should continue buying...
On Chinese Growth Charts she is in the 97% in weight, height, and head circumference!
On US growth charts she is in the 60% in weight and the 75% in height!
Right now I have 2Ts, 3Ts, and even some 4Ts. I am not really quite sure of what to be buying right now, we really hope to get her by November, according to the charts she'll weigh about 30 pounds and be about 37 inches by then... So, I'm guessing she'll be fitting a 3T just about perfectly, I'll bring some 2Ts and maybe even a couple 4's along also...just in case.

Here is a slideshow of various pictures of our trip to China in February of 2005. It includes Hong Kong, Beijing, and other places in northern China, along with several orphanages.
