First want to say Thank you again to everyone who gave, shared and prayed for the Reed family to help them be fully funded to travel.

I now want to say I’m sorry to those of you who are not on Face book. I realize I had not shared here the tragic news of Sophia going to the arms of Jesus on February 8th.  It has been a heartbreaking time and much prayer is still needed for the Reed family. It has been a difficult two weeks. Earlier this week I was able to visit the family and I just want to say this family is such a blessing and just shines the love of Christ even during such a difficult time of mourning. I am happy to share their announcement below that they have their schedule to go and bring Joel home. Please continue to pray for this family and join them on this precious journey bringing home their son.

CLANG! CLANG!! CLANG!!! Everybody Listen Up!!!! Joel has an IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT to make....MY FAMILY IS COMING FOR ME NEXT WEEK!!!!

So, YES!!!! Another surprise turn of events in this CRAZY adoption journey!!! We are so excited to let you know that we will be flying to CHINA NEXT WEDNESDAY, February 26th to begin our journey of bringing JOEL home!!! PRAISE BE TO GOD, Joel will FINALLY be in our arms FOREVER on March 3rd! We will remain in Joel's Province for a week and then continue on to Guangzhou where we will complete his Consulate Appointment and secure his Visa. Joel will fly home with us on March 14th and will become a US Citizen and the newest member of the Reed Family!!!

We thank each and every one of you who has followed us and supported us on this journey to Joel as well as everyone who has stood by us to offer their condolences, love, and support as we continue to process through our sorrow of loosing Sophia. We cannot begin to express our deepest gratitude! We know that God has a plan in all of this and are expectant to see the "beauty from ashes" that are to come.

We will be keeping a "Daily Travel Journal" on our website for Joel and we invite you to "come along" with us as we journey to China and back! We can't wait for you to meet our new son!
