Hong Kong - Day 2

We're so grateful for our time here to recover a bit from jet lag. Yesterday was especially rough. We can't decide if it's due to our schedule (flying in late to Beijing then needing to leave by 7:30the next morning) or if it's due to us being older. I vote the former. Our thoughts are mostly consumed with the twins and our time at the foster home yesterday. We CANNOT wait to get them Monday but we're also in much prayer for their little hearts facing this huge transition as well as the foster family. It's been such a mix of emotions while here. We're rejoicing that God is blessing us with these specific children but also aware there is so much loss associated with adoption. Nathan has mentioned the birth mom and how we are so sad she can't enjoy the girls. We so wish there were some way she could know the girls are going to be loved unconditionally. We also love the Chinese people and culture and are sad that the girls will miss out on growing up here. However, in the midst of this we're reminded of God's Sovereign and Good plan to put them in our home. We know this will bring Him the most Glory and consequently us and the girls the most joy! Thanks for your prayers! We're dependent on them. Could you pray for the girls to feel safe and loved as they leave the foster family Sunday morning? (10:00 pm Saturday EST) They will travel to Taiyuan by train with two nannies from the foster home then stay overnight in a hotel and be picked up by strangers from their original orphanage to be brought to us, another set of strangers, only we're white, can't speak their language and have big noses. :)
