Here is a portion of the e-mail she sent me:
Yesterday we showed our son the referral picture of your little boy, and
asked him with our translator if that's the same boy as his best friend, and
he smiled and nodded "yes". You might also like to know that he asked us to
put the referral pic of your son and the pic of the two boys together into
frames, and he attached them to the head of his bed. Last night he said
"Wan an" (Chinese for "Good Night") to your son and he gave the pic a kiss
before he went to sleep.
Another part of this amazing story is that we gave our son a Legos transformer to put together in China. He loved it--it went into the bathtub and into bed with him. At the orphanage, he gave it to his best friend--made all the adults choke up to watch. At that time, of course, we had no idea his best friend is your son!
Is that AMAZING or what? My heart overflows knowing that our precious son has had such a sweet friend. At the same time, my heart aches for these little guys and their loss.
Again, I stand in awe that God has placed both of these boys in their forever families within months of each other...after waiting EIGHT long years!
I'm afraid my growing impatience is becoming unbearable. Hurry, hurry, hurry, LOA!!!

Oh my goodness. That is the COOLEST thing ever. I have been following the other family's journey of love. I can't wait until you can bring Hao home to San Antonio.

What a sweet picture. I told you he has legs! It does make me sad that Hao is without his best friend. How sweet that the orphanage director was thinking of him when he took the other family's contact information. It sounds like they really care about the kids.
We're praying for that SCL.
Oh, I'm a blubbery mess! Our God is sooo good!
Praying and waiting with you, friend!
Oh I am praying for you LOA to hurry up. We just got ours and it took the whole time but another family got theirs the same day and they were a month early! I still have to go and redo my fingerprints though...bummer!
God speed!
