One more thing

A quick thank you to everyone who has either emailed us or posted comments. We have gotten them and read them. We really appreciate all of your encouraging words and prayers. The one thing that has kept us going on this trip has been being connected to those back home. I don't know how adoptive parents managed this journey without the technology we have today. It has been wonderful to get emails and most importantly be able to skype with our children back home.

Side note- We were able to weigh Futing tonight, he is about 33 pds. This is about the same weight as his brother, Ben. He is also very tall.

Futing is now listening to the Beijing Children's Choir on an MP3 player and slowly drifting off to sleep... we hope.

  1. It's so good to hear that all is going well. I'm continuing to pray. I do remember how tough those weeks in China were. I have never been so drained in my life! I am also praying for your children at home. I know they miss you and you them.

    BTW, glad you brought those winter coats!

  2. Keep it up! You are getting to end of the hardest part of your trip. After a few days in Guangzhou, hopefully you'll breathe a little easier. While it is the trip of a lifetime, it is a difficult trip as well. You're doing great!

  3. Hang in there. We're praying for you and Futing. He sounds like such a fun little guy! The encouragement from home is so helpful in the province with all the travel. Warmth is coming in Guangzhou I hope:) Pam (Dalian Mommmy Too)

  4. Enjoying reading about your journey. We only got back 6 days ago, so the rough journey memories are fresh. Glad things are going so well for you. We are the ones that took the train instead of flying to Hong Kong. Hope you get to do the same. Way worth it! Safe travels!
