Lily Grace Meets Her Forever Family

Hey Everyone,

Here's some more pictures of Lily Grace. She is so amazing. The orphanage director brought two other gentlemen and a lady to give Lily to us. They all said she was the princess of the orphanage. One of the men was crying as they gave her to us and it was incredibly moving. You could tell that they all loved her very much. They gave us pictures of her taken recently. They gave us back the things we sent over in her care package, including two disposable cameras which they had used to make picture. We had given her a bear with a picture frame and our picture hanging around its neck. You could tell that Lily Grace had carried it around with her because it was beginning to show signs of wear. They gave us a copy of her abandonment notice and her abandonment note. Most things were in Chinese. Our guide, Sally, translated them for us into English and the Director of the orphanage gave us a Chinese script of Lily Grace's personality, handwritten by him! They gave us a copy of her schedule and she's following it precisely, sleeping like a baby right now.

Thanks for following our journey. Please continue praying for us. We have been blessed beyond anything we ever deserved. God is so awesome!

The children were nestled, all snug in their beds. While visions of family danced in their heads.

Love,
Jerry, Connie, Austin, and Lily Grace
