Mei Day

This is just a brief followup to my post about getting Mei. To recap, we flew to Nanchang today and were told we would get our babies today, not tomorrow. I am too tired to write how I feel and what all this means to me, but rest assured I am on the verge of tears. I can’t believe she is finally here.

Thank you for all your prayers and support. Continue to pray for us and our bonding time with our new daughter.

Here are some videos from today. I did not get the moment Jen was handed the baby as I was taking a picture.

Part I



Part II - about half way through. The first half is of another family (Moore’s). Then you see us.

Part III



Thank you Jesus. Man God is too good to me to have blessed me with four wonderful kids and a perfect wife. He has blessed me. I don’t deserve any of it, but He loves me enough to bless me.

I am a blessed man, a blessed man.

    Hi Sweeties,
    I have now watched the video at least 7 times. Each!!! I see new stuff each time. I agree with everyone, Mei knew her mommy and daddy Spirit to Spirit. God is so good!!!
    Mike, I clearly saw the love she has for her new Daddy on the Skype site this a.m. Thanks so much for letting me share in that moment. I love her laugh and smile.

    Congratulations to you and your family! What a wonderful gift of love!

    I would like to share the following poem with y’all! God Bless You …

    I wish you well :) Melek

    OUR FAMILY TREE

    We’ve added to our family tree
    A stronger one to make
    A child from another plant
    Has become our new namesake.
    Just as a limb is grafted
    From one tree to another,
    It alters and improves the plant
    Making it, uniquely, like no other.

    Our family tree has been improved
    Adoption made this so.
    For love, much more than bloodlines,
    Makes us thrive and grow.

    We chose to share our life and love
    And all the joys to come
    Our “family tree” has blossomed
    With the arrival of our cherished one.

    “We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life. But those who make their journey home across time & miles,growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them,are carried on the wings of destiny and placed among us by God’s very own hands.”~ Kristi Larson

    Mike and Jen,

    I am so very happy for you. I watched the video and just cried (they were happy tears). I can’t wait to see her in person.

    Love to all
    and kiss the baby for me,

    Jackie
