David here. I am in Hong Kong and my flight is delayed, so I am taking advantage of the free wireless to do a brief update and share a few prayer requests regarding Fu Mei. Thanks for praying with us. It is looking like we are going to be able to travel in December. Initially it looked like we would be able to go in the second week of Dec. and be back on Christmas day or the day after. Lynn told me today that the immigration documents we have applied for came back today and were rejected for some minor reason. Pray with us as we and the agency try to figure out where the problem is.
We have been blessed to be in touch with several other families that have adopted children from the orphanage FuMei is in. Through them and the Yahoo Group website, we have been able to track down a lot of photos of her from the last three years or so. It is amazing to have these and to be able to see some glimpses of her life and surroundings. I will upload a few more of these and ask again that you remember FuMei in your prayers.

We don't know if she has received the initial box we sent, or what she knows or how she is feeling about the upcoming transition. Pray that God will be doing a work in her heart to prepare her, that he will protect her in the coming days, and orchestrate all the details of our travel. We are sending another package this week.
We have applied to an agency that does matching grants to help folks who are adopting. Pray we will get accepted and that funds will come in for the travel expenses that we are needing. Apparently ticket prices are generally higher in December when we expect to travel. Pray we can find good prices when the time comes for booking.

We love you all and thank you for standing with us and FuMei at this time.
