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.

TB test OK

Today we went back to the medical exam room and they checked Josiah's TB shot from Saturday. Everything was OK. We also went to the Jade and pearl market, however, Josiah was misbehaving a little so it wasn't very enjoyable. Plus it was hard to bargain and keep track of the family. However, at the pearl market we were able to get a picture of Josiah with Paige's hair...there were people all around laughing at us. Also pictured is our good friend Cormack. He really really helped us on Saturday night. He stayed very close to me and he and I talked almost the whole night. He speaks English (with a british accient), Cantonese, Mandarin, and he is studying German...he even goes to School on Sunday's for additional studying. Well we are getting close to the end of the road here in China, tomorrow we have our consulate appointment and wednesday we receive Josiah's visa packet and head out to Hong Kong via train. Please be thinking about us on Wednesday and Thursday as I really don't know what to expect in Hong Kong. My little bit of Mandarin will not do me much good in Hong Kong as they speak Cantonese. Josiah is taking a nap right now, actually he just fell out of bed and hit his head...that is like the 3rd time since we have got him that he has done that...thankfully his bed at home is low to the ground and has rails :)
