Just a quick post. We arrived safely in Nanning at 10:45am. It is 3:45 pm Sept 16th. We just filled out some paperwork for our adoptions. We leave the hotel in 15 minutes. We will meet our children at 4:30pm at the Civil Affairs office. We'll try our best to post later tonight. The emotions are running high here! Take care all!!!

Hi!
I thought I'd check before I pack Kiana's lunch for school. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Yeah!! Your forever family day with Alissa finally arrived! ~ Sonda
Hi Brent, Kristin and Benjamin,
We are back home and we hurried to the computer to read your updated blog. What an emotional day you must be having, because we too, are just bursting with excitement and anticipation for the meeting with Alissa!! This is the day!! At long last she will be in your arms and in your family. We can't wait to see your pictures and hear your story. You are constantly in our thoughts. What an awesome chapter in your lives!
We love you and miss you all!
Give Alissa hugs from Grandma and Grandpa.
Prayers-
Mom and Dad
Dear Ones -
Your day has finally arrived and we're sure your emotions are overflowing as ours are too! Daddy and I are so happy and excited for your new family of four and can't wait to see pictures! As you hold little Alissa closely in your arms, give her a little extra hug and kiss from Nan and Pop Pop. As you continue on your journey, remember that we love you and miss you!
Our Love & Prayers

Hi, I've been thinking about you ALL MORNING! Was dying to Skype but was out running RG to school. Not even sure if you have your computer up and I'm sure you are so busy/overwhelmed/trying-to-adjust to what is happening. Can't wait to see her "live" and in person!!!
Dear Kristin,Brent and Benjamin, Your family and friends have said it all. WOW!!!! What a wonderful blessing to have a beautiful daughter in your family. Though I think Alissa is the lucky one....she will be getting the best Mom and Dad and Brother in the world. You are truly blessed!!! Love Aunt Liz and Uncle Dale and Family
Hi family,
I am off today and keep running to the computer to see if any update has come. Matt and Amanda were talking at the breakfast table about how exciting this is! I pray that you are with Alissa at the moment and just taking in every ounce of her goodness! Oh, Benjamin... get ready, sisters are so special. (I know because I have 3 of them) You will learn to play Barbies and hairdresser and she will learn to play baseball and ride four wheelers. We look forward to watching it all happen! The beach next year will be even more fun.
Love and smiles,
The Harnish Clan
Hello FOF (family of four),
I have been checking the blog all day, hoping each time there will be a new posting. I am certain that by now you have held your daughter, laughed, cried, laughed, cried and laughed some more - ahh, a little girl. I still can't imgaine the emotional high that you must be on. Benjamin, I hope that you enjoy your sister as much as I enjoy my sisters! Family is truly a gift from God. XXOO, Tracy
The overwhelming love you must feel; being lifted by an out-pouring of prayer. As we ready for the evening you ready for a new day and beginning...together. A family.
A deep breath, (yes, its finally real)brings forth the reality of forever...Blessings and Congratulations!!
