Tim Nelson passed on your blog info to me. Our family is following your trip with great anticipation. Your blog is bringing back some great memories of our 2 trips to China. We take so much for granted in America, don't we?! Just wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers for a safe, healthy and smooth transition as you accept God's precious gift to you, your little boy. Just know that even if your little guy throws something at you or punches you in the face when he's handed to you that God has a beautiful plan for your family and someday soon Taye will realize what a gift he has been given...you guys as his forever family. Blessings, Wendy Hi Dan and Jenna,

How well I remember our two adoption trips to China for our sweet girls and know well the conflicting emotions you're feeling each minute. You are so right to have all of those feelings swirling around in your brain, adoption is a wonderful blessing but it's not neat and tidy, you'll find. Can't wait to see you with your precious son. I look forward to meeting him! Kelly Hey Dan & Jenna,

My seat space on the airplane will feel bigger and softer just b/c of the niceness of your thought. (We're pretty sure there is an empty seat between Dan and I on our return flight from Addis to Khartoum...we will totally survive. Besides, we'll never remember a smooth flight, but we'll always remember one that required a little character building!) (from Jenna) Phlat B, you are quite possibly the nicest person alive.

I dunno....just thinking out loud. If you think there's a way we could, or know a ball park cost, then holler. It could be worth a shot!
