We are scheduled to travel with 6 other families and 3 are from Ohio, 2 others are from Cincinnati! We can’t wait to join up with FCC in the Cincinnati and meet others who have adopted children from China as well. Everywhere we go we see someone who has been adopted from china or an Asian country lately. It's been great to hear everyone’s stories. We can’t wait to bring him home. Hope is so thrilled to finally have someone else around the house her age. She is 7 but loves the idea of a little brother. Rachael and Hope will both be traveling with us to China. Please be praying for our travel to be safe and without complications.

Update: Rachael could not travel with us due to a car accident a month ago that has her in a back brace for 2 more months. We will really miss her being with us.
