It has been an amazing journey so far, and we are like at step 2 or 3 of ?? in the journey. When we definitely decided to start the process a little over a year ago, we knew that it would be a life changing experience for our family and for the adopted child. I must admit that this is a little different than having Parker, Jenna, and Andrew. Even though we knew we were getting a cute 2 year old little boy with CP, and had pictures and videos of little Jake HongFu, I was a bit nervous and anxious last week.
Jake HongFu is an amazing little boy. We can tell that he was loved and cared for greatly by his foster family. He is full of love, very affectionate, active, smart, and has plenty of tendancies of a typical 2 year old little boy (we will have to work on some of those). Even with our lack of oral communication, we can tell he loves his jei jei's (older sisters), gege (older brother), mama, and baba. Jake has learned to say Andrew's name already, working on the others.
I have been to a few of the larger cities in the US with my business travels, but I have been in awe of the cities Nanning (6.8 million) and Guaungzhou (13 million). Apartment buildings, office buildings, as far as you can see, and traffic that I would be scared to drive in (we have plenty of pictures).
We are so thankful for all of the support and prayers from our family, our TKD family, church family, co-op family, my work family, and all of our friends.
We will hopefully be home in a couple of days.
May God bless you all!!
In His name, Jeff
