Well after almost a year of waiting and planning our dreams are finally going to happen!!! We leave at 2:00 pm tomorrow to meet our new precious daughters. Today we spent preparing the goodie bags and packing their backpacks with treats!! Coty has been so patient with his aunt and mom!!!! Shopping in the womens and childrens mall is NOT a teenage boys favorite thing!! I can't wait to post pictures of the girls tomorrow!!!!
Stacy, Tammy and patient Coty
** Addition to post **
As I sit here typing (woke up at 12:30am) I cant help but tear up. I prayed so hard for this moment to come and God thru many people helped make this happen. I had no idea when I first met this two little girls 4 years ago I would be hours away waiting to meet them and bring them both into our family…. One as a daughter and one as my niece. Lisa M when I ready your comment you brought me to tears because you are truly correct when you say mountains have been moved. I don’t doubt for one moment that your daughters prayers were answered in such a incredible way and I am so thankful….. We are so blessed!! We are hours away from meeting the girls I pray that they will be able work through the fears and feel how much they are loved.

Hi Tammy,
It's hard to believe that it's almost 2 years since our family met the girls on our return visit to Dapu, and my daughter was so touched by them that we posted on the list that we were going to try to find a way to help them. You wrote back that you were already sponsoring them, and that in your heart, you thought adopting Bella was God's plan for your family.
I sometimes wonder if my daughter's prayers for these wonderful girls helped to moved the mountains that were moved to make this all come true! It makes me feel that in some small way our family is part of this wonderful blessing!
I remember writing that Isabella's spirit is as big as China, and it's so true, and it seems as if your family's is as well!
Tomorrow will be an impossibly wonderful and understandably difficult day for all of you. We am sending prayers that the wonderful outweighs the difficult and that the girls can settle quickly into the love of their new families.
Know that there are many, many, many of us praying for a transition that's as smooth as possible. I know that your heart and your faith will guide you through it all.
Hug the girls for us too! Blessings to all of you,
Lisa
Yahoo! What a journey filled with God moments. My heart will be right there with all of you tomorrow.
