Notice how as Lindsey happily poses with her beautiful dinner she is also accidentally pouring the sauce on the table cloth! We loved that.
Here we are with our facilitators celebrating after finishing our U.S. Embassy Appointment! We went to a great little bakery and had hand made cakes and fresh coffee!
Daddy and Daughter enjoying a good ole fashioned stair climb at the hotel!
Here Eliana is sporting her presents I gave her for her special day (the final staqe of her adoption)! I gave her a Dora the Explorer back pack so she could be prepared for our big trip Home! Inside the pack I put a little kitty cat stuffed animal which we named Diego!
I'm feeling more and more like her Daddy! It's slowly sinking in that this is not a dream but that my dreams have come true! Thanks for all your prayers, support and encouragement!
So much More to tell, so stay posted!
Grace and Peace,
Chris

How GREAT is our God?!
Adoption is such a miracle and it has been the greatest blessing to walk (via cyberspace) through this with you! I don't know you at all, but I have been reading your blog for months and months! I am very teary eyed to consider that precious little one is going HOME!
(We are leaving very, very soon for our "short" trip to bring our son home from China!)
How wonderful!!! Next stop.... HOME!!! Congratulations!

We are so happy for you. The memories of that day flood back when we get to see this victory for another family. God is so faithful to complete what He has begun. We Love Him for that and for all that He does. This leg of the journey is almost over and a beautiful new one is just beginning.
