I have SO enjoyed reading about your journey. Your blog has really gotten me so excited about our upcoming trip to China to pick up our baby girl! I am so happy things have worked out well for Sienna. It was so heart breaking to read about her being so sick!

Your beautiful family is truly amazing and so blessed. I pray for safe travels back and look forward to seeing your post about Ruby and Sienna meeting for the first time!

I'm Christy's sister (Cassie) and she showed me a picture of Sienna a couple of weeks ago and I have been smitten ever since. There is something so unique and heartbreakingly beautiful about her. You can see the pain in her eyes as she seems to be understanding that she is leaving everything she is familiar with in China. My heart just broke when I saw how sick she had become. She is already so emotionally fragile and has no idea as to the wonderful life she will have with your family. I was praying that the sickness would not break her, but as you have said, your girl is the stubborn type. Thank the Lord for that at this critical moment. When I saw that you guys are coming home, I just sat in my bed, woohoo-ing, clapping, and crying. I am so relieved for you. God is bringing your family through this. I can't wait to follow your story when you come home. I will prepare myself and pray for you as there will be some rough waters ahead, but I really appreciate your honesty in your blogs. It connects us all to real life.

I will be be praying for you and your family.

Woke up during the night and prayed for you knowing you were headed home. I know you will be glad to have all three of your girls under one roof and to get Sienna checked out.

Looking forward to seeing those precious China babes meeting each other for the first time..and all that follows!

I know you are probably back on AMERICAN soil by now. Hoping our new little American is doing well! I heard the JET LAG is pretty tough after returning, so I know the updates will be pretty scarce. I just want you to know that we are still uplifting your family in prayer and PRAISING GOD for all HIS GLORY! Welcome home!

Don and Lisa Osborn said...

Hey Di~

I know you're home by now and I hope that the reunion went smoothly and was happy! I look forward to seeing the pictures.

I know things will be crazy for a bit but please know I am HERE to listen and provide support however I am able. I remember you being one of the biggest supporters I had when I was left at home with my new reality of being a mommy to this strange creature known as Lindy. I will always be so grateful for your support and love.

Love you~
Lis

Stefanie said...

Kim said...

Blessings!!!
