We now have our flights set and our exact travel dates. We will be flying out of Grand Rapids, to Chicago, to Beijing to Nanchang on Tuesday, April 22. After all that traveling and crossing the international date line we hope to get a short night's rest before picking up Jinnae on Thursday, April 24 at 9:30 am. Yay!! Can't wait!! Going crazy with excitement!!
We will be returning to Grand Rapids around 9:00 pm on Friday, May 9.Please pray that these long flights 15+ hours will be good to Rick and I and that neither of us will get sick. Flying in a tube, way high in the air, is not my favorite activity. I will do anything for our baby girl though. We'll keep you posted.

I'm a cyber friend of Carla Gerst and she forwarded your blog to me. We traveled your same road just two short years ago to get our precious Sarah in Nanchang. It will be the trip of a lifetime. Have the time of your life and know that God will ordain your every step!
God bless you as you become a family of 3!!
Sincerely,
Kristin Smith
