Please join us on the final leg of our journey as we travel to China, to bring our precious little Lia home! We look forward to hearing from you during our trip. We invite you to leave your thoughts and wishes along our Journey. We will share this special keepsake with Lia when she is older.

Also, we thank you in advance, for your prayers during our travels!
Especially, on February 20 when we become Lia’s parents forever and on March 4th when we travel home with her! We also request your prayers for her brothers and sister, Nathan, Emily and Ryan as they stay here getting things ready to welcome their precious mei mei home! We can’t wait to be a family of six!
~Blessings, Amanda & Jason
