Thought I would post some random pics from our walking in Hanoi yesterday and today. The weather was a nice change from Ho Chi Minh. It's quite cool here. Yesterday we met a very nice couple who is adopting a little girl through our same agency. We will be making the 4 hour car ride to the orphanage together. It is a blessing to be able to go through this with them and to have other English speakers to talk with. We will likely meet up with our agency rep today to cover plans for our trip tomorrow. I keep thinking about the fact that these two boys have no idea we're coming. The closer we get, the more I realize how adoption reflects, to a degree, our own adoption into Gods family. These guys have not made any phone calls or pleaded with us to come get them, just as we performed no good work on our own in order to be adopted by our wonderful God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Its all by His grace through faith in Christ. And it's also His grace that gave us the love for these two boys we've yet to hold and the means to make it happen! Until next time...
