In the words of Ellie

Sometimes kids just get to the point so much faster than we as adult could ever dream of.  As Ellie was crying the other night over Daniel, and wanting him to be here, and her worry about his hands this is what came out of a tearful precious little girl.  "Why does it have to take (sniff, sniff) so long!  Imagine her little voice so worn out from all the crying she had done for him.  My response, "I KNOW honey".  It is hard to wait. 

This journey has many times had me questioning with the same tearful voice, why does it have to take so long!.  But I am praising God for His timing!  As we approach the date (3 weeks from today on the plane), I can clearly see, why it HAS taken so long.  Only our Lord could orchestrate our lives for this time to come together as He has done!  There is so much that He has done, in our families lives to clear this date for us!  It is miraculous!  And only God could know, that this mom, needed the extra two weeks for the Chinese New Year, to get all her 'to do' lists completed.  So, for all of you who I cried to about lost paperwork, and hypervenilated to on the treadmill, here it is.  THANK YOU LORD, FOR YOUR AMAZING TIMING!  And thank you all for your amazing friendships.  I could not have walked through all of this without your encouragement and prayers.  Keep them coming!!!!
