Cargan Here We Come!!!

We have flights booked to China!!! We will be leaving May 14 and returning May 31. I can not even begin to explain all the miracles that have happened this past week. First starting with the fact that our TA (travel approval) came in 1 week!! This was earlier than expected. The estimated time was 2-4 weeks. We then had to ask for our CA (consulate appointment) which should take 2 business days and only took 1 day!!. I do not believe in coincidences. I believe in the almighty God creator of all, who knows every detail of our lives. We are so excited to have flights booked and we are so ready to go meet our son!!!

But there is another miracle tucked in this incredible story. Our precious Pierson who is now 8 was born in Taiwan and came to us when he was 7 months old. He was at a Home (little orphanage) where we adopted him. It is run by a wonderful couple, who are missionaries and serve the Lord with all there heart. They have a precious place in our hearts and are like grandparents. Pierson has asked over the years to be able to go and see them.  As we began Cargan’s adoption we began to pray if it was at all possible to be able to visit them. God heard a little boy’s prayers! We had a small window of time to visit between May 11 and May 18. because they are coming to the states for a few months. Do you know when God planned for us to be in China?? Yes, you know it! May 18^th. Thus we are able to go a little early and stop in Taiwan. The miracle does not end there. When trying to get the flights there was much confusion as to whether we could go directly from Taiwan to China or if we needed to pass through Hong Kong (due to politics). Well we kept getting mixed answers. I asked many of you to pray for the details and God answered. We decided to keep it safe and go through Hong Kong which should have added cost to our flights but our wonderful travel agent found us flights that were the same or actually a little lower than we had expected for going directly to China AND for the exact dates we needed. What an amazing God we have!!! Every piece was put into place and I can’t wait to see all he will do in the next part of this journey!!! Please keep praying we will need lots of prayer as we head out. I will post our specific requests before we leave in 12 days!!! But who is counting :)
