Counting the Days!!!!

We leave for China next Wednesday, October 25th at 11:00 PM from Los Angeles!!!! We can hardly contain ourselves!!! We arrive there on the 27th and will hold Joshua in our arms for the first time on the 30th or the 31st. We won’t know that for certain until we are in China. Please pray for us as we pack and take care of last minute details before our departure. Please pray for Joshua as he is waiting for us to come and get him. A few months back we sent a small photo album with photos us, other family members, and his new pets including captions explaining the photos and expressing our love for him. It was received at the orphanage and hopefully has been used in preparing him for meeting us!

Your excitement means so much to us. So many have been following our Journey to Joshua. We're glad that you'll be going there with us via this webpage as we post photos of our time in China, hopefully daily.

Blessings,
Charley and Marianne
