God's Plan...

We were so excited last week to get our travel approval, but we were very disappointed that we would not be with Anna Grace for her birthday. We started to make arrangements to leave for China on May 19th- but that seemed so far away. In the mean time, we waited for our agency to make our consulate appointment. We have to go to the consulate in Southern China at the very end of our trip in order to get Anna Grace's visa. Well, the consulate office seems to be very busy and they were not able to see us when our agency requested. Our agency decided to try to book our appointment for a week earlier and today we received an email that we are to leave for China on May 11th and Anna Grace will be united with us on May 13th- her birthday!! I never would have dreamed that our "gotcha day" would be Anna Grace's birthday, but God had his own plan. God always seems to have bigger and better ideas than I could ever dream up. From the time that we started this adoption we have been trying to walk by faith and follow God's plan. I can only imagine what else He has in store for us.

  1. Karla,
    That is amazing! I can't believe you will be there for her birthday! If you guys want to come over tomorrow evening or Sunday afternoon, let us know. Or I can just copy my packing list and give it to you, not that it is inclusive by any means, but it might spur on some ideas! Let us know if we can do anything for you guys! So excited for you!
    Blessings,
    Robyn
