Well, Here it is! She is officially ours!!! We are signed, sealed and delivered. We are grateful for this precious gift we have been entrusted. She is a true treasure. We know that the Lord holds a great plan and purpose for her life. We are already seeing so much change in her. She makes much more eye contact. She is smiling more, and she knows her mamma! She fell asleep on Brad and myself today. When she is out...she is toast. Her smile lights up her whole face! You at home will never know this little girl we met yesterday. In two weeks she is going to be so different. Everyone had told us this, but now we are seeing what a difference a mamma, daddy and big brother can make in a life. Thank you for your constant prayers and support. It is not the easiest road we are on, but His grace is sufficient. Love and blessings...

Praise God for the progress Libi's made already. It's amazing to see what constant love and attention can do to a child. Oh how I wish that every orphan had the opportunity to be in a family like yours.
The Lord will be faithful to give you strength to carry out the call that He has given you!!
Praying for you guys!!
Love in Christ,

Love the pics today! God has definitely poured out His blessings on you. She is precious! I love the picture of her face while she is sleeping on the bed. Pure peace. We're so excited for you! We will continue to pray for you fervently. God has entrusted you with a precious jewel. He knew you were the perfect mommy, daddy, and brothers for this little one. Look at the remarkable changes in just 2 days. God will do amazing things through this little one.

We love you!

What a DOLL!! Guess what?? We sat in those exact chairs for our adoption of Selah! With the same two people officiating!!
I am so happy that you are seeing such progress !!
It is like you said "she knows her Mom" !! That makes all the difference to these precious children!
Missing y'all and praying STILL!
( I cracked up at her shirt!!Bad hair??WHATever are you suggesting!)
Great pictures - again! Love the HUGE bow! Thank you guys for doing an amazing job with posting pictures and words to allow us to follow your journey.
We're praising God that it's "official". In all of our minds, she has been yours since last Septemeber, but now it's on paper too. Thank you Jesus!
We praise Him for the changes you are already seeing in her. The verse that came to my mind is II Cor 5:15 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" She is a new creation now that she is the presence of His love. I love His redemptive plan for us and for Libi.
Praying for another great day!
Love you! Sherry
So happy to see Libi Faith happy and healthy. Praise God that she was well cared for. She looks so sweet and I'm glad to see she is healthy - a true sign that someone loved her.
While she might not be able to sit up by herself now - that all changes. Ava wasn't able to either and it wasn't long before a little time with mommy changed that - I know it will be the same for you.
Now that the work week has begun here, I'd appreciate it if you'd post some new pictures of her every couple of hours. See what you can do.

She's beautiful!! Thank you so much for sending out all the pictures and the daily journals. I love the fact that every time I turn on the computer, I can get a good dose of my precious neice. She's perfect!!! She's got the most amazing smile. I love how peaceful she looks when she's sleeping. Her cheeks are perfect for kissing!!!

So glad you are there to see the difference lots of "family love" can make in the life of your sweet little girl. It is truly an amazing transformation and makes you realize how important it is we get homes for all these precious orphans. Thank you Jesus for burdening our hearts for them and call MANY more families to adoption we pray.
The pictures are priceless today. It is the most awesome feeling to say she is YOURS!!! We get ya!!! What a wonderful journey you are on. Can't wait to hear of new progress each day. Step by step He is leading-keep trusting and following. Love you!

I love the pictures of Libi Faith. I especially love the pictures of her with her bad hair day. when you get to Guangzhou you have to go to the Golden Dragon shop and say hi to Belinda for me.

Sydney and I have been so enjoying this wonderful journey and always look forward to reading/seeing all the miracles that each new day brings. You can see such joy on your faces and hear it in your words!! We will continue to pray for you all throughout the remainder of your trip and your voyage home.
We are SO HAPPY for your entire family and of course for precious little Libi Faith. She is BEAUTIFUL and we can't wait to meet her!!
