Our verse since our adoption journey began:

James 1:27 - "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..."

Itinerary in China

The following is what we'll be doing in China for 2 weeks. We just got our itinerary today, so we thought we'd share so you also know how to pray specifically for us while we're there. (There is a 13-hour difference!) We hope you'll pray for us during this trip, as well as for the safety and great behavior of our boys while they stay here with their grandparents! :-) Don't forget to pray for the sanity of my parents while they care for them (homework, sports, etc.). Thank you Mom and Dad!!!
