    God is so good! We are waiting for clearances to bring home our almost 13 year old from China. Your posts have blessed me so much! Our God is an Awesome God. He will bring it to pass! I am believing for a miracle with all of the glitches with our paperwork. My prayer is that we can be in China by our son's 13th birthday. He has waited too long for his family. If I look with human eyes it is impossible, but with God all things are possible! Congratulations on your beautiful miracle!

Can we share this photo? There are so many of our friends and family here in NE who have been praying for you guys and I know they would love to see this. If not that's ok, just thought I'd ask. :)
