Moriah Elisabeth Ao Hui Pockras



Debbie and I will be traveling to China on November 3 for the purpose of adopting Moriah Elisabeth Ao Hui Pockras. Our "gotcha" day is November 8. At 5:00 p.m. on that Sunday (5:00 a.m. if you are getting up early to go to church...), our daughter will be placed in our arms in Nanchang, China. By November 20, when we fly home, she will be ours forever and a U.S. citizen.

This has been a long journey, but we know that God is in control. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
She is 16 months old, and was abandoned by her birth-mother at about 7 days old. She has been in foster care since then, waiting for her mom and dad to come and get her. WE'RE COMING!
