Reflections

As I sit here ready to leave Zhengzhou I am happy and ready to move on to the next phase of our journey. I can't help but feel a little sadness for leaving here.  We are leaving behind all that Zoie has known.  Her culture, her way of life, her birthplace and although they left her almost 3 years ago her birth parents. 
I am glad that I was able to see her city, to experience her surroundings and know more of her culture.  I am truly thankful that we have her and am thankful that we are able to be here making Zoie apart of our forever family.  I am thankful that the Lord provided a way to bring this special spirit to us.
 
I am so thankful for my family and friends for the support they have given us in this process and I'm thankful for my kids and their sacrifice to have us gone while we get their new sister and for Grandma's interrupting their lives to watch and take care of our kids while we are gone.
I am so thankful for my special little girl from Zhengzhou.

  3. With being there with you and seeing the filth she grew up in, I'm so grateful for the our Heavenly Father and His plan. I'm now grateful for all the hard times the past few years, it has made us stronger, and now we not only have a stonger more loving relationship, but a beautiful daughter that was meant to be in our family just as much as our other children. I love you and all of our kids. I wish I could be there for you, but the kids here need me. I know you will be blessed and things will go well for you. Me and the kids miss you both.
