I feel even MORE excited reading the day-to-day travel plan! One week from tomorrow, you'll be on your way! If only Cate knew how much her life was about to change, and in such a wonderful way. She is about to meet her "forever family," as you say! This godmother, for one, can't wait!!!!!!!
Happy Travels! I can't wait to see you all together!

I am so excited for you all. I really hope to be following right behind you but it all depends on when our TA shows up. So glad you will have your beautiful girl in just a few short days!
Hi Anne,Dianne, Grace and Cate.
Your Dad (Guy and Poppy) and I are constantly checking the website to see if you have arrived in China and your trip is going well. We like everyone in the states are very anxious to hear from you. In two days you will be united with Cate. It will finally happen. We are so excited for all of you and wish we were there to share this special, fantastic moment. We love you all. Take care, God be with you and please write soon before your Dad loses it. We love you--Poppy and Marla
We are so excited for you. We have been praying for all of you at each meal this week and will continue to do so. We have your picture on our kitchen table. The girls keep talking about you. May God bless you as you add to your family.
Love,

Hi Anne,
By now your new little family should be altogether. I have been thinking of you all throughout the day.
Don't forget to contact GHC so that they can give you the CD with all of Cate's sponsorship reports on it. They contacted me today to let me know that it is prepared and waiting for you as soon as you ring/email them with your details - email Susan Huang - the GHC Qinzhou coordinator at susanhuang@grace-hope.org or phone them at 13077710097 or 771-5602923
