Lord, prepare her little heart

Three weeks from today we will be flying to Beijing, China and starting our journey to sweet Libby Xiao. My heart is heavy for 2 reasons - I am dreading tha part of hugging my wild little men and telling them goodbye (*knowing that I wont see them for 16 days) and I am sad that this chapter of Libby's life is about to come to an end.
I am praying that the Lord will prepare her little heart for the major transitions that are about to happen. I pray that she has lots of laughs with her buddies and sweet times with her caregiver. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this will be for her - leaving the only place she knows and going with total strangers (plus she has only seen Chinese individuals her whole life so she will most likely be very unsure of us). I know God has called Libby to be our daughter and trust that He has already laid every detail out perfectly.
We would love prayer during this time. Please pray that God will give Libby Xiao a deep understanding that we are her forever Mommy and Daddy. We are here to love and protect her always. Also, for her to feel that she can openly grieve and mourn with us in China about her lost. And finally pray that she will bond and attach to us during those first few hard days.
We are excited and ready! Now back to making lists and re-packing again ha!
