5 Weeks...

Well, 5 weeks and counting! That's right...we will be leaving soon for China and things are really moving fast now! My parents are still accepting donations, but have finished with all the formal fundraisers. Thanks to all of your generosity, we are going to make it! Each one of you will have a part in the miracle that is my life from China forward, and I will be forever grateful for your love!

We'll be leaving Detroit on June 22 so we can make it to the hospital in Qingdao on June 24th. We come back on July 18th, and my mom will make sure to give everyone updates so that you can all follow my progress. I am very excited about how my life is about to change....my cousin was very funny last night and said that my first words will probably be "stop Soraya!" as my sister feels the extreme need to smother me at all times! I love it and her so much, but I think my cousin might be right!

Please know that my family and I really appreciate the outpouring of love and support that we have received along this journey so far, and we hope that it continues as we truly prepare for these travels. Lots of love to all!
