When God calls you must be willing to say "Here I am send me!"
Sometimes it takes a leap of faith accepting that He will provide!
You never know the blessings you may receive!


"AND WHOEVER WELCOMES A LITTLE CHILD LIKE THIS,

IN MY NAME, WELCOMES ME." Matthew 18:5

ADOPTING A CHILD WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD,
BUT FOR THAT CHILD, THE WORLD WILL CHANGE.

Day 2 - Adoption Complete!

Getting Ready to go back to the Civil Affairs! Must have sticker decorations!
This is what it looked like outside when we were getting ready to go to the Civil Affairs office! Rain! Rain! Rain!
The boys were quite good especially when you consider we had 7 families crammed in this small conference room and we were the first to get there and the last to leave! This province has not done very many adoptions and for these officials we were the first family with two children and having only one parent travel so they stumbled over our paperwork a bit! But it is complete and we are now officially a family! (We were in this little hot room for three hours!)
The director and personnel from the Dalian SWI after everything was complete! It seemed to stress both boys out when they were around but they would be very happy when these ladies left the room.

Debby, I'm so happy the boys have each other to communicate with and comfort one another. The picture of Max starting to cry is heartbreaking, but I loved hearing how Marc rubbed his arm to comfort him. You are doubly blessed!
