"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break."
~Chinese Proverb

“Adoption is a perfect picture of what God has done for each of us in making us His children through Christ. Psalm 68:5-6 tells us that as the Father of the fatherless, God delights in setting the lonely in families. It has been our experience that the scriptural mandate of caring for orphans, such as the one found in James 1:27, is really a wonderful invitation to experience God in a profound way by being part of His sovereign plan for His precious children.” Steven Curtis Chapman & Mary Beth Chapman, Authors of "Shaoey and Dot", a story about adoption.

Last day in China

We are down to the last day in China. We are all looking forward to getting back home and getting back to the normal routine. We are just packing up now and ready to leave in the afternoon via train to Hong Kong. We’ll stay in a hotel in Hong Kong tonight and then leave that hotel in the morning for the airport. We have an 11:45am flight from Hong Kong to San Francisco.


Yesterday we went to the US Consulate for the citizenship oath, so Nathan will be a US citizen when we go through immigration in San Fran. For all of us taking the oath, the consulate official said that all the visa paperwork is on track. We will get Nathan’s passport with visa prior to going to the train station. We could not take photos inside the consulate office, but we have a few from the outside. Otherwise we did some more swimming and shopping yesterday and watched a movie in the room.


We feel very blessed that our trip has gone so smooth. Thanks you all for your prayers, we definitely know that God has watched over us.
