Here they are....best friends:
Joseph's parents took this picture when they returned with Joseph to the orphanage to say their final good-byes. Joseph has told his parents that he and our Hao are best friends! Wow! It warms my heart to know that Hao had a special friend, and that both of these little guys would now have a forever family. After eight years of waiting, they both would go home to loving families...within months of each other. I am confident that God had this all in the plans.
I'm sure our little Hao is missing his buddy. We still don't know whether or not he knows he has a family who will soon be coming for him. We do know that the orphanage director is aware, because he asked Joseph's parents for their contact information so that he can give it to us when we come for Hao. I'm assuming that this gesture shows the closeness of these boys in that the director wishes for them to make contact in America. So very sweet!
Your continued prayers for Hao are extremely important to us.
P.S. Joseph and his family visited the SWI during nap time, so Hao is kneeling on his bed...he is not as short as he looks in this picture. I thought I might need to clarify, because our first impression when seeing the picture was "wow...he is so small"
P.S.S. Also see our March update BELOW...

That is so amazing and sweet. I wish you could go get him now! I had no idea that Hao may not know a family is coming to get him? I sure hope and pray he does (and I hope he's not afraid of monkeys).
I am sure your patience must be about gone by now. I pray that you get to travel soon--sooner than expected!
