We Are Headed To China!!!!

After a LONG weekend wait and SEVERAL HOURS on the phone trying to work out flight plans for our trip to China.  I am thrilled to say,  we have our tickets booked and two weeks from today...we will get to take our first photos of our family of 6 all together!!!

We cannot BELIEVE it's so close.  The last 15 months all come down to these last two weeks.  We are filled with so many different emotions. So many highs and so many lows, but this little boy is worth every high, every low, every penny, and every sacrifice.  God has a special plan for him and we get to share with him just how special he is.  We get the opportunity to let him know just how much God loves him and has a special plan for his life!! This is PRICELESS!!  And each and every one of you are a part of this! Thank you all so much!!!

So...here is our Itinerary!! We'd still appreciate all your prayers for all the details of things to work out.  We still have a few kinks to work out. Thank you for continue to cover us in prayer concerning these things!!!

Wednesday, May 8th - Flight leaves from Atlanta
Thursday, May 9th - Arrive in Beijing, China
Sunday, May 12th (MOTHER'S DAY) - Arrive in Shepards province - Chongqing, China
Monday, May 13th - Gotcha Day!! This is the day we will get Shepard!! 

We will stay in Chongqing a week and then we will travel to Guangzhou.  Our CA (consulate appointment) is  the 22nd.  

We will arrive back home in the US on afternoon of Saturday, May 25th.  We are still waiting on the exact time. We are HOPING we can fly back into Huntsville, instead of Atlanta.  We will keep you posted on this as we get info!!

We promise to keep you all posted!! This week will be filled with lots and lots of preparing for travel. Again, there have been SO MANY of you that have given to help bring Shepard home.  We WANT you to follow this journey and know that you are helping to change the life of a very special little boy!! Love you all!!! We will post again soon!!
Blessings,
Mark & Buffi
