This week we said good-bye to our dear friends, Clay and Jewel Floch. They are the guest coordinators at Shepherd's Field Children's Village. They managed to welcome over 2,000 guests to SFCV last year! As you can imagine, they are very busy on a daily basis. We're praying for them as they pursue God's will for them in China!
We sent an envelope of family pictures with them. We're hoping that they will be able to share them with Phillip in a benign way. It would be a blessing if Clay and Jewel were the ones that got to tell Phillip that he has a family. He won't get that information until our family has travel approval from China. Clay and Jewel said that is so hard not to tell him that he has family. Waiting until families have travel approval is a way to protect the children from emotional upheaval if an adoption doesn't go through.
Brittany was looking at Phillip's pictures and noticed that Phillip's wheelchair doesn't have footpegs. That fact makes us wonder if we will need to replace his wheelchair when we get to bring him home. He wears a plastic brace of sorts as well. It seems like he has outgrown it and we're hoping to find a new one that doesn't irritate his skin.
