Off We Go....

Well here we are...off to China!!  As we left Wichita for Chicago early this morning, we had a mix of emotions and were sad to be leaving our precious four children behind, but our eyes are set on the plan that was placed in our hearts just over one year ago.  In some sense, it is hard to believe that we are on this journey again nearly two years after bringing Jaida home.  It seems as though our journey to Jax has been long and arduous and on the other hand it is hard to believe that we will be meeting our new son in just four short days!  I can't begin to imagine what is going through his little mind at this point and what he will be feeling when he sees us for the very first time.  My prayer is that his nannies have been preparing him for this big change and that God has prepared his heart in advance to accept us as his new family.  His world is about to be turned upside down and we will be the culprits.  We know our faith in God is big enough to overcome all obstacles and He will be with us through it all.  Thank you so much for all of your prayers, well wishes, and warm thoughts we have been receiving over the past week--it has been comforting to know that so many are with us on our journey of the heart...again!

We have landed safely in Chicago and will be boarding our flight to Hong Kong in about three hours.  I will be posting our itinerary in my next post, so you will all know what each day of our trip holds for activities.  On Monday, March 1st in the afternoon we will have Jax in our arms forever!  Stay tuned for daily updates!
