I have graduated from the paperwork to the packing, whooohooo!! Almost done with Mia's luggage, Briley's and my own. Medicine and food bag is packed.
I can't believe the day we have been waiting soooo long for is fast approaching. There have been so many ups and downs in this process. I want to thank all of our family and friends who have supported us, encouraged us and prayed for us. This journey has been the biggest step of faith we have ever experienced. At times, it has been emotionally and financially draining, however, we have grown so much spiritually. There were so many times that we had to be reminded to "let go and let God". It has brought new meaning to Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God". We appreciate your continued prayers as we travel and meet our precious Mia. We expect to experience more challenges along the way, as Mia will be taken from everything she has ever known. Especially pray for her.

Why Adopt From China
- Steve, Cindy, Briley and Mia
- At first glance, some of China's beliefs may seem quite different than those we hold in the western world. One example of this is the cultural preference for a male child. There are several reasons why Chinese families might prefer a boy over a girl. In rural provinces, a family's livelihood depends directly on the output of its family members. Because of this, a family with sons would be at a considerable advantage than one with daughters. Historically, it is also the son's honored responsibility to take care of his parents in their old age. A daughter, however, would be expected to care for her husband's parents rather than her own. In this regard, the Chinese believe that having a son is crucial to their livelihood, as well as a form of social security for the parents when they grow older. This situation is further complicated by China's One-Child Policy, which prohibits families from having more than one child. As a result of this policy, there are thousands of abandoned children throughout China, with the vast majority of them being healthy girls.
