Inquiring minds want to know...

I didn't post much actual info last time, just an announcement. Here's some of the information that our agency has provided us about sweet little Kai:

"Cheng Kai is an active, cute, and bright little boy. He has a round face with a pair of bright eyes and when he smiles, his eyes become little slits. He has fair skin and look healthy. He is very charming."

"Cheng Kai is a capable, sweet child. He can feed himself with chopsticks and can go to the bathroom on his own. When he wakes up in the earl morning, he can dress himself in simple clothes, pants, and shoes. Cheng Kai is polite to people. When he sees a familiar person, he always greets them on his own initiative. When a guest comes to his home, he will find slippers for them to wear, and when the guest leaves, he will say 'goodbye'. Cheng Kai is a good child who likes hard work. At home, he often imitates his foster mother to sweep the floor or clear the table, etc. When his foster father comes home from buying food, Cheng Kai will take the food from the foster father's hands on his own initiative and help him put it in the kitchen. Cheng Kai also likes to play outside, and he especially likes to go to the amusement park."

We do know he is in some type of foster situation. The translated paperwork describes it as a "simulative family environment." This is good to know. We are hoping he is receiving more love and care than he would in an orphanage setting.

Please keep Kai in your prayers that the Lord keeps him safe in the months that we are waiting to go get him, and that the foster parents prepare him emotionally for such a monumental event!

For where your treasure is....

there your heart will be. -Matthew 6:21

I always knew that God was preparing my heart for something really amazing. What I didn't know was that he was preparing us for a son. What I really didn't know was that he was preparing us for a 4 year old son!

It is with great surprise and sheer joy that I announce the referral of our SON "Kai":

He is four years old and is waiting for us in the Chongqing province of China.

I will post more information very soon, but I wanted to let you all know as soon as possible, as I know you've been as anxiously awaiting this arrival as we have!
