A lot has happened during that time. My mother passed away and one of the children that was part of our travel group also passed. While one death sometimes can be the conclusion of a great life lived, the other leaves many questions and we search for answers. But, all I know is that for however long Emme was here, she touched so many lives. Sometimes, the answers to the question why is not for us, but for others watching us as we walk through this foreign land. May God receive all glory that although we don't understand, we accept; and know that He is in control and that all things are working to the good of us who know God and are called according to His purpose! We can await heaven and the GRAND reunion that we cannot imagine with our limited human minds and emotions. But what a HAPPY day that will be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you look at the pictures of Jayden, you will be amazed at how he has grown. I praise God every morning for this child and we have been so blessed with his addition to our family.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-7018487808790443059?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/7018487808790443059/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=7018487808790443059' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/7018487808790443059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/7018487808790443059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2010/01/been-long-time.html' title='Been a long time....'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-3679424114833780999</id><published>2008-10-16T12:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T13:19:48.500-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='6 month reunion of China group'/><title type='text'>6 month reunion of China group</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SPeeHa62KJI/AAAAAAAAAWc/lceXm6WJx3M/s1600-h/100_1523.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257844940300757138" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SPeeHa62KJI/AAAAAAAAAWc/lceXm6WJx3M/s320/100_1523.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; The first picture is of the four precious Chinese children and the Mann's youngest and of course my grandson Payton.&lt;br /&gt;The second picture is of Jayden and Payton having fun together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SPeeH4YOoII/AAAAAAAAAWk/wdNfHCKsOug/s1600-h/100_1538.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257844948208623746" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SPeeH4YOoII/AAAAAAAAAWk/wdNfHCKsOug/s320/100_1538.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SPeeIDtxQYI/AAAAAAAAAWs/n69U2KjR7pQ/s1600-h/100_1541.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257844951251763586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SPeeIDtxQYI/AAAAAAAAAWs/n69U2KjR7pQ/s320/100_1541.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is us and the three other couples that traveled with us to China.

He is discovering new and exciting things all around him.  Some he likes and some he doesn't care for...like walking on the ground outside.  It's very interesting watching Jayden discover the world.  I am reminded of how much we take for granted everyday and I pray that this experience of watching him learn will teach me to be more thankful of all that the Lord provides for us.  We are so blessed to have been born in America.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-1727967128318485042?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/1727967128318485042/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=1727967128318485042' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/1727967128318485042'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/1727967128318485042'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2008/04/first-trip-to-sand-pile.html' title='First trip to the sand pile'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUcoo1ZO4I/AAAAAAAAARc/MhlPqio8-BU/s72-c/100_0952.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-7381514732401222651</id><published>2008-04-15T14:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-15T14:12:22.842-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Payton teaching Jayden to play ball</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUZLo1ZO1I/AAAAAAAAARE/4XbvF0218Pg/s1600-h/000_0093.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189581833344990034" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUZLo1ZO1I/AAAAAAAAARE/4XbvF0218Pg/s320/000_0093.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUZL41ZO2I/AAAAAAAAARM/GIn3QRoPdWw/s1600-h/000_0095.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189581837639957346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUZL41ZO2I/AAAAAAAAARM/GIn3QRoPdWw/s320/000_0095.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUZMY1ZO3I/AAAAAAAAARU/3hOnjgRuMq4/s1600-h/000_0096.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189581846229891954" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUZMY1ZO3I/AAAAAAAAARU/3hOnjgRuMq4/s320/000_0096.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think I posted that the paperwork told us that Jayden's favorite toy was a ball.  Brian and I went all over the island and finally found him a ball.  When we got back to the hotel it was apparent that Jayden had never saw a ball before much less knew what to do with it.  Children are so remarkable, in just a couple of week look at him playing with a ball.

Special thanks to Rod, Joy, and especially ALEXA for hanging this welcome up.  I am truly blessed to have such special people in my life.  I cried when we pulled up-- to think that even though you couldn't meet us at the airport because of our delays from New Jersey-- you went out of your way at the last minute to show us love.  Then when we opened our refrigerator Robbin Davison had made us fresh pasta casserole and Bobbie and Edward McDonald had stocked us up on the basic "stuff".  If that wasn't enough Mark Davison had finished our back deck for us while we were gone as a present.  How can we possibly repay all this kindness?  I am just praising God for each and every person that He has placed in our lives at this moment in time.  God is so good to us and He just keeps blessing us each day!  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-3769369592577624748?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/3769369592577624748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=3769369592577624748' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/3769369592577624748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/3769369592577624748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2008/04/welcome-ballons-banner-stuff.html' title='Welcome Ballons, Banner, &amp; &quot;Stuff&quot;'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUOqo1ZOrI/AAAAAAAAAP0/VU2kgkQUfi8/s72-c/100_0942.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-5810783536030143787</id><published>2008-04-15T13:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-15T13:20:08.163-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hong Kong</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMTY1ZOmI/AAAAAAAAAPM/Op_2iMR3sRg/s1600-h/100_0925_00.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189567672837814882" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMTY1ZOmI/AAAAAAAAAPM/Op_2iMR3sRg/s320/100_0925_00.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMTo1ZOnI/AAAAAAAAAPU/A9SYx8Opivg/s1600-h/100_0927_00.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189567677132782194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMTo1ZOnI/AAAAAAAAAPU/A9SYx8Opivg/s320/100_0927_00.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMUI1ZOoI/AAAAAAAAAPc/geetKgYay9c/s1600-h/100_0929_00.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189567685722716802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMUI1ZOoI/AAAAAAAAAPc/geetKgYay9c/s320/100_0929_00.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMUY1ZOpI/AAAAAAAAAPk/qQ8fQQBfua4/s1600-h/100_0932_00.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189567690017684114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMUY1ZOpI/AAAAAAAAAPk/qQ8fQQBfua4/s320/100_0932_00.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMVI1ZOqI/AAAAAAAAAPs/m8g4I2z5TG0/s1600-h/100_0938_00.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189567702902586018" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/SAUMVI1ZOqI/AAAAAAAAAPs/m8g4I2z5TG0/s320/100_0938_00.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was our hotel in Hong Kong.

After a little sleep we went to Payton's ball practice. Jayden met a lot of his new family there. I will be uploading the pictures of the Pearl River Cruise this week. I apologize for the delay but the jet lag really hit me after we arrived home. and we have had a lot of company. Jayden and I are struggling to adjust to the time change. We did manage to attend church yesterday...I was in a fog. Jayden made his first trip to the nursing home to visit my mother today. He loved on everyone there. Praise God that he entrusted us with such a loving and sweet boy. I will post more later with pictures.

Our internet subscription will run out at 6pm tomorrow night. We will leave for Hong Kong Tuesday after we receive Jayden's visa. We will spend one evening and one night in Hong Kong before returning to the US on Wednesday. We are SO HOMESICK. Jayden has not felt well today. I think he is trying to get a cold. UCK! This is a picture of our whole group (Lifeline and small world). On the red couch are all the children that were adopted by our group. As you can see Jayden was having a bad day. The other little boy having a bad day is Caleb Mann from Alex City. The next blog entry till be after we return home. Thank you all for your prayers for us and especially for Jayden. We appreciate all of your support. This has been a long and hard process, and some of you know the heartbreak that we have had to endure during this process. God has been faithful to us and has brought us through. The moment Jayden climbed into my arms made every hurt ease. I have never been more certain that this is the path that God had intended for Brian and me from before time began. God knew that our little boy would be born a world away and that He would reunite us in His timing. We give all the praise and glory to God for placing this child into our family. He is such a joy and a blessing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-8823582728431782613?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/8823582728431782613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=8823582728431782613' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/8823582728431782613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/8823582728431782613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2008/03/goodbye-from-china.html' title='Goodbye from China'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R--Ckzm50XI/AAAAAAAAAM8/IsYNwalvB10/s72-c/100_0774.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-6653926396621430615</id><published>2008-03-30T04:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-30T04:46:50.023-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Jade art</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-97Pzm50UI/AAAAAAAAAMk/2kce2OrU3rg/s1600-h/100_0772.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183497207608365378" style="FLOAT: left;

This place was two or three times larger than the Galleria in Hoover. We also went to the jade and pearl market today. The prices were unbelievable. I bought a very nice (according to our guide 1st quality) set of pearl's for Jayden's future wife. I also bought a jade bracelet to commemorate our trip to China and Jayden's adoption. This will probably also pass to Jayden since it is part of his heritage. I thought I would also share some jade sculptures we have seen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-4183782806709078360?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/4183782806709078360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=4183782806709078360' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/4183782806709078360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/4183782806709078360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2008/03/jaydens-first-shopping-mall-experience.html' title='Jayden&apos;s first shopping mall experience'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-95jzm50QI/AAAAAAAAAME/9jjgdivTWlU/s72-c/100_0786.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-5260159945832514684</id><published>2008-03-30T03:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-30T03:57:03.589-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Medical Exam</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-9xyDm50NI/AAAAAAAAALs/JJx2UW9XeLM/s1600-h/100_0760.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183486800902607058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-9xyDm50NI/AAAAAAAAALs/JJx2UW9XeLM/s320/100_0760.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-9xyTm50OI/AAAAAAAAAL0/pEGCi73jMtc/s1600-h/100_0761.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183486805197574370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-9xyTm50OI/AAAAAAAAAL0/pEGCi73jMtc/s320/100_0761.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-9xyzm50PI/AAAAAAAAAL8/7u8Z009WtRo/s1600-h/100_0762.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5183486813787508978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-9xyzm50PI/AAAAAAAAAL8/7u8Z009WtRo/s320/100_0762.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was Jayden's exit medical exam.

He was really glad to see her and when she gave him back to me he cried. This was the first time he has really cried. It was very heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I am glad that Brian and I had the opportunity to visit and to thank especially this lady for loving and taking care of Jayden. We left via the playground and I think Jayden sighed with relief when we pulled away. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tomorrow we pick up Jayden's passport, apply for his visa and he will have his exit medical check up.

Started off by going to the Chen Family Museum. This was built in 1840 by the Chen Family as a temple. When the communist government came into power they took over the museum and all the properties owned by the family. Now it is run by the government as a tourist attraction. After we left there we went to a place that makes ceramics and has a large selection of class A and B jade. Class A is the best quality you can get as it is jade in the purest form. Class B is colored by using chemicals. After that we went to a traditional chinese restaurant where the food did not look all that enticing. Everyone tried a little of it but there was a lot of food left. Nothing like "Sweet Home Alabama" food. Tomorrow Terri and I will be going to the orphanage where Jayden has lived all his life. This will probably be an eye opening experience so pray for us.

We stayed in the hotel this morning and just took some indoor pictures. The White Swan Hotel on Shamian Island is a four or five star international hotel. I don't really know what all that means, however, it is truly beautiful. The hotel is surrounded by the famous Pearl river. There are two swimming pool. exercise rooms (with treadmills, stair stepper, and free weights), golf driving course, gift shops, clothing shops, sauna's, massages, beauty shops, barber shops, banks, just about anything you could want. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This afternoon we had our appointment at the police station to file for Jayden's passport. Everything went like clock work. If anyone is interested in International Adoption, Lifeline children's Services are the ones to call. They have this whole process down to an art.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the morning we are going site seeing, so we should have some great pictures. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I apologize if I have told you this before, I am posting to this site blind. I cannot see what I am posting. For some reason, I can post, but I cannot view Jayden's blog. ? But anyway, we finally, found him a couple of pairs of pants and a few shirts to wear. He is so tiny. Right now he is wearing a 9 month. He is adjusting well, although he has a hard time eating solid food. His palet is a 3rd degree cleft, and his cleft went all the way through his left nostril. He will need at least 3 surgeries to correct.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will try to post more tomorrow.

We sign and sealed all the documents. The only paper work left is to get him a passport and visa. We'll do that Monday. We went to Wal-Mart today it it was three stories underground. No air conditioner...very hot, and very humid. We shopped for 45 minutes, which was 40 too many for me.  As you can see from the outside of Wal-Mart is was raining today.   More later.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-4874451475647995901?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/4874451475647995901/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=4874451475647995901' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/4874451475647995901'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/4874451475647995901'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2008/03/hes-ours.html' title='He&apos;s Ours'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-isETm5zoI/AAAAAAAAAHE/oVESP67FMpE/s72-c/100_0654.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-8005853979713483537</id><published>2008-03-24T23:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-24T23:49:53.181-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gotcha Day'/><title type='text'>Gotcha Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-if_Tm5zjI/AAAAAAAAAGc/Udjh7Xh1ecM/s1600-h/100_0627.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181567281233776178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-if_Tm5zjI/AAAAAAAAAGc/Udjh7Xh1ecM/s320/100_0627.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-if_jm5zkI/AAAAAAAAAGk/Otd-5R5eHDw/s1600-h/100_0628.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181567285528743490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-if_jm5zkI/AAAAAAAAAGk/Otd-5R5eHDw/s320/100_0628.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-igATm5zlI/AAAAAAAAAGs/k69qJDm99w8/s1600-h/100_0630.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181567298413645394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-igATm5zlI/AAAAAAAAAGs/k69qJDm99w8/s320/100_0630.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-igAzm5zmI/AAAAAAAAAG0/KeNfJqCu2Yo/s1600-h/100_0633.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181567307003580002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-igAzm5zmI/AAAAAAAAAG0/KeNfJqCu2Yo/s320/100_0633.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sorry I didn't get any thing posted about our gotcha day. But we had a very busy day. We received Jayden at about 3:30pm and he is a hoot. Then we had paper work, paper work and Jayden wanted to play, play, play. He only had one bad moment, and that was after it got dark...I think all the lights scared him. But he has been laughing and playing ever since.

Beautiful brides were everywhere today. There is a great emphasis on exercise here. In the parks there were people everywhere. Kicking a birdie, playing tennis, various other ball and racket games, board games, dancing, stretching (kung fu style), sword...yes sword...practice, wrestling, and other activities that were beautiful but I'm not sure exactly what they were. This is a very social culture, and they are very friendly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/496185297492407960-3048583232004537766?l=jaydenmac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/feeds/3048583232004537766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=496185297492407960&amp;postID=3048583232004537766' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/3048583232004537766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/496185297492407960/posts/default/3048583232004537766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jaydenmac.blogspot.com/2008/03/stroll-around-guangzhou-china.html' title='Stroll around Guangzhou China'/><author><name>Brian Terri McDonald</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02560932701897088671</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-YVFTm5zfI/AAAAAAAAAF8/3IZ4K699x4c/s72-c/000_0080.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496185297492407960.post-7915578196571402981</id><published>2008-03-23T01:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-23T01:18:08.971-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Church service in Guangzhou'/><title type='text'>Church service in Guangzhou</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-YQvzm5zdI/AAAAAAAAAFs/yxXD93YIksM/s1600-h/000_0086.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180846834829610450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-YQvzm5zdI/AAAAAAAAAFs/yxXD93YIksM/s320/000_0086.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-YQwTm5zeI/AAAAAAAAAF0/aDQ6Uh5pnWM/s1600-h/000_0087.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5180846843419545058" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_PklQwlpkPlQ/R-YQwTm5zeI/AAAAAAAAAF0/aDQ6Uh5pnWM/s320/000_0087.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was a church service (please note that the church is full) in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Guangzhou's&lt;/span&gt; Christ Church. At the start of the service the pastor was required to read a disclaimer about this was one of many theories. However, this was a Biblical, Jesus is the only way of salvation sermon. So, no matter the disclaimer, the gospel is being preached. Just outside the courtyard of this church was a police checkpoint fully armed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Spirit...

We will be working on finishing touches on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Jayden's&lt;/span&gt; room and packing.  One minute I think we have everything ready and the next I am completely overwhelmed.  I am just thankful that God is &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;reassuring&lt;/span&gt; me that this is His will for our lives at this time. (Even if I sometimes feel unworthy, too old, and think Brian must have only been going through mid-life crises)  Thank you, Lord for giving me peace, and laughter---for those of you that don't know---God has a wonderful sense of humor.  I will have photographs to post on Monday of his room and hopefully of our diner with the other three couples that will be traveling with us.  We are all meeting this Friday evening at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Lloyd's&lt;/span&gt; for food and fellowship.  This is a miracle that four special needs children will be adopted in our area in just a few days from now.  My prayer is that each of us will raise up godly children to be warriors for the kingdom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:  for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, the the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Now we officially have all our paperwork in order, and we have our CLEAR ENVELOPES that will travel with us!  We will be leaving March 21 and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;returning&lt;/span&gt; April 2, 2008.  We will be receiving &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Jayden&lt;/span&gt; on Easter Sunday (here) WOW, what a glorious Easter present.   Of course it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; compare to our greatest Easter gift of Christ rising from the grave to secure our salvation....but it's a second place for the best Easter present we have ever received.  We are giving God the glory for this journey, only He could have carried us &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;through&lt;/span&gt; the heartache, and growing pains this path has taken us on.

continues to receive presents, and he's not even here yet. I have a feeling Brian and I need to clear out more space. Sheryl Blakley presented me with a Hallmark baby book---for an adopted child---Sunday at church. She and her daughter saw it while shopping in Georgia recently. I know that this will be a treasure that Jayden will be thankful for. Joni Craft brought the activity table for Jayden's room (which we haven't finished yet). I know that Jayden and I will create wonderful pictures and crafts on this beautiful table. Please pray for our TA, we really need to receive it soon, due to the airfare price increases for April. PRAY! We are thankful for all of your prayers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Today Jayden received his third gift. His first gift was from his big brother Derek and his girlfriend Timeka---a brookstone stuffed bear with an embroidered tee shirt bearing his name.  I have never felt a teddy bear so soft.  Jayden's second gift came from Doug and Melody Kemp, a baby GUND prince cuddle toy.  I'm sure that Jayden will love to hold this because it is so soft and cuddlie. Today Rodney and Joy our "spiritual kids" gave Jayden his first Bible.

We will attend our first travel meeting tomorrow December 28, 2007.  I know that this will give us comfort and encouragement; in that we will at least be doing something toward bringing Jayden home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
