Here we go!!

We are headed to Indy right now! The girls are doing great so far, but it will be hard to give them kisses good-bye at the airport.  They have their paper-chain ready to countdown the days until we are back with Beilyn! They are super excited about all the sleepovers and daily gifts for the next two weeks!


Here is our itinerary:

May 1st-2nd- Travel to Beijing

May 3rd- Tour Beijing and take overnight train to Nanchang

May 4th- Beilyn Day!!  Our guide said we will probably get Beilyn around 4:30pm, which will be 4:30am on Sunday morning in Indiana.

May 5th- Adoption Day- complete the paperwork to make her officially ours forever!

May 6th- Free Day (We have some big plans that I hope to share soon!)

May 7th- Hopefully visit the orphanage or meet Beilyn's foster mom

May 8th- Free Day

May 9th- Pick up Beilyn's Passport and fly to Guangzhou

May 10th- Medical Exam

May 11th- Free Day- planning to go to church and shop on the island

May 12th- Consulate Appointment

May 13th- Pick up Beilyn's visa and take a train to Hong Kong

May 14th- Fly Home!  With the time change, we will leave Wednesday morning, travel for over 24 hours and arrive home on Wednesday afternoon! :)


One of my favorite verses is Isaiah 26:3 and I've been praying for that perfect peace since the day we sent our Letter of Intent to adopt Kaiyun.  I'm still scared about what her future holds, but I know He chose her for our family. Please pray for our girlies while we are away, pray for safe travels for us, and especially be praying for Beilyn as her whole world is about to be turned upside down!  Thank you for your love and support!
