Hey everyone,
We finally set up our blog. It may not be the best but we will try to update it and make it easy to read and enjoy for our journey to Claire in China. Claire's Chinese name is Fu Qi Yang and yesterday, August 2nd, 2007 we met her via email pics for the first time. She is "amazingly beautiful" is what the agency kept saying and we agree ! Here is some more information about her and future prayer requests:
Her birthday is 12/18/2006 so she will be one very soon. This month on the 18th she will be 8 months old. At 6 months she weighed 14 lbs. She is a deep sleeper, YEAH! She sucks her thumb at night, she knows her name of Qi pronouned CHI. She can roll over, hold her head up and she loves toys. She is close to her crib mate and care taker. YES, another prayer, we prayed and prayed she would find favor in a caretakers eyes and God provided. And, her moma's request some hair, yes, she has some hair! This is what we know so far.
On Monday, we will receive our fedex package to find out more about her medical history, her province and about where she was left, her finding place. So, on Monday we will be seeing our physician, signing papers and such.
Thank you soooo much for the prayers, thoughts, emails during our journey. WE are developing a blog so everyone can follow our travels. Here are some specific prayer requests.
1. Medical reports be good and we travel soon, September would be ideal or we may be delayed until November.
2. Continued care for baby Fu Qi until we arrive and after. She will be grieving the loss of her caretaker and crib mate. Transition to us, attachment and bonding quickly and smoothly.
3. Flight plans, details of travel and packing. :) Jason's business while we are gone, Mary Ann's real estate business to be finished and completed before travel.
4. Pray for this sweet baby's birth mother, her sadness and comfort in knowing her child will be loved. We don't know her mother or have any information but we know she had to give up this sweet precious child just for us.
5. More to come, I am sure. We love you all and thank you again and again! MA and J and baby Claire JoLee Qi xoxoxoxo

Oh her picture is the cutest thing!
Jason and Mary Ann,
We could not be happier and more excited for you in this journey. God's appointed time is here. For such a time as this. God is good and we praise Him for what He is doing in all three of your lives.
We love you all,
Rick and Dawn
Praying for you today as you prepare to leave that God will line up all the details. We pray for her transition and her nanny's as well.
Much love,
Rick and Dawn
Jason & Mary Ann,
Mark and I are thrilled for all three of you. We know that God is giving you a sweet little girl and you will raise her in a great loving family. I wish I were going with you two to China. You both know of love China.
Blessings,
Mark & Kim
