We are finally in Hong Kong. It was a very long flight, but we are here and all is well. Kids did excellent. We have 7 more hours to wait here and then we have a 4 hour flight to Ho Chi Minh. Meant some people at O'hare Airport that are traveling to Ukraine to adopt a 4 year old orphan who has Down Sydrome and heart problems. The also have 4 children of their own that they had to leave at home and will be gone 3 weeks and may not even be able to bring her home this time. They are a very loving family. There names are John and Charissa Urban please say a quick prayer that they can return home with little Eva.
We'll blog as soon as we can from HCM.
Love you all and thanks so much for your prayers.
Glad you got home safely Mom and Dad.

We are praying for you all! :o)
So glad to hear you all had a good flight to Hong Kong! Did you have an all-night slumber party or is the excitement too much to miss?
Don't forget to take lots of pictures and keep a journal of all your personal expressions during the trip! This will be a trip you will never forget!
Can't wait to hear from you again. Take care and may God continue to be with you each day.
Love you,
Dad and Mom, Grandpa & Grandma
Jeff and Sherri- I would not have believed even a month ago that I would see the day when you could blog from Hong Kong! I am impressed! You have been in my constant thoughts and prayers. We love you.

How excited you must be to finally be so close to realizing the dream that you have had for so long. God is so good. We prayed for all of you in church today. Grandma Beth, you must be so excited. We will continue to uphold you in our prayers. Hugs, Karen
Hey guys,
You made it! You're officially on the other side of the globe. I hope your time in VN is as exciting, challenging, and growing as mine. Have loads of fun and see as much as you can - without getting too worn out. Look forward to hearing about the trip and meeting the kids when you get back.
Praying for you each day.
Blessings,
Rick

SF...I can't believe you are there already. I know it has been a long time waiting. But, your dream is real now. Hannah & I are off for MLK Jr Day & we are going to cook a pizza, make Antie Annes pretzels & freeze in this iceburg weather. I can not imagine what your day holds for you all. We will check every day & think of you often. Love, Heather
