So happy for my sweet friend:)

My friend Jennifer, her husband Charles, along with their oldest son Charlie are in Beijing on their way to Guangzhou, China to get their daughter and sister...Alice. This is such an exciting time for them! Hopefully they are getting a great nights sleep right now. Please keep them in your prayers and follow their journey to bring Alice home:) The link to their blog is at the top of my blog list.
