Waiting on Him: Article 5 Issued

Our journey in faith to adopt this little boy Josiah from China

Josiah, or Yang Heng Hai, was an orphan from China who is a wonderful, patient, sweet, and ingenious little boy who was in need of a family. We felt the Lord calling us to bring this beautiful child into our family, and He provided beautifully. Some people would call Josiah a special needs child. Others, a child with special needs. To us he is just special. Josiah was born without the use of either of his arms and had 2 club feet. However, Josiah has been able to overcome these things and do many amazing things.

Article 5 Issued

We received a notification yesterday that our article 5 has been issued. This means that the US Consulate has notified China to issue our travel approval. We should have our travel approval in about 3 weeks, then hopefully traveling about 3 weeks after that. We are still planning on taking the girls with us, but we will see how it all turns out. Just an FYI to everybody, we have been extremely busy lately, I am sorry for not posting or responding to emails as often as I should, but my last day at my 2nd job was Monday, so hopefully some more normalcy will return to our lives....just in time to turn it upside down...but I am looking forward to that :) We appreciate your prayers, and we will keep you updated as to our progress.

In His service,

Brian
