We're leaving Dec. 2 for China to get our son, coming home Dec. 17, and will post to our blog while we're there...We will meet our Ben on Dec. 8 in Nanjing, the capital of his province!
I was going to stalk you at CBS today after lecture, then a woman from my core group started telling me a story and I lost you. *sigh* I wanted to wish you well for your trip! I know you guys must be counting down the days, hours, minutes, seconds!!!! I am so excited for you and we will be praying for you while you travel. *HUG!*
Oh, the memories of our trip to Nanjing are so fresh. Your lovely little guy is part of those memories. I will be almost as happy as you guys when you get your loving arms around him. Blessings~Heather
I am so excited that your long wait is nearly over! I will look forward to re-living our trip, by following yours! Prayers for a safe trip, good health, and a smooth transition for all of you.
Congratulations!!! I've been praying for you and Ben. I am a friend of Heather P and her son, (Ben's friend from the orphanage) Andrew. Can't wait to follow along and finally see this sweet boy in your arms.

I am SO excited for you and your family!!!!:) It must be crazy now with the packing and getting everything ready. Right before you leave for the airport pause for one minute and breathe in the silence. Once you come back it will be filled with shrieks and laughter!!!
HI Sally, we traveled with Heather and Tom last month to get our son AJ. We also met your Ben. He is adorable. I wanted to stow him away in my suitcase for you. He and Andrew hugged and hugged! It was soooo beautiful. I was thankful that he had his own mama and baba coming for him. Congrats! and Godspeed!
Wow! How exciting for you to be nearing the time when you can get on the plane and finally be with your son. He is such a cutie. We traveled to China the same time as you are only three years ago. Praying that everyone adjusts wonderfully. Looking forward to sharing your journey via your blog!
It's about time for us to go. I can't believe it. We won't come back the same! I've never felt so crazy and so a part of God's plan before. I can't wait to see what's ahead for us.
Sazamander and Bobmeister ... you will be receiveing a call from me later and I know you are busy but I just need to talk to you guys!! I love you and am exciting this day has finally come ... only hours until you leave ... stop in italia on your way home??
Yay!!! You guys on on your way to Ben. I hope you figure out a way to make it to Suzhou. Either way you will come home to a life changed forever by your experience and the addition of a special new family memember. We will continue to pray. Heather & family
