Well, unless the internet is free and we have time on our hands in Hong Kong, then this will be our last post! Thank you so much for following and for your comments while we have been in Chinal. It's been a really stressful 2 weeks, but 2 weeks of our lives that have been the most memorable time also. We are so blessed and we are grateful that God allowed us this journey to get our beautiful little Olivia Denae-Li Langley. She is as perfect as we could expect and blessed beyond comprehension!
I will try to post some pics here and there, but if you are like me, you just look every now and then to see how big and beautiful the little girls get after they come home. It might be a few weeks, but there will be more pictures up soon!
Pray for us as we fly ALL DAY, well your Wednesday night and your Thursday. It's going to be really crazy, but pray for the weather and our safety. Thank you for your prayers so far, they have made us get through this we know! God is so Awesome an so GOOD!!
Boys, we are coming home in less than 72 hours now. We have missed you so much and can't wait to see your smiling faces and hold you in our arms. We know that you are going to adore Olivia and her you.. We can't wait for our family of 6 to be together for the first time!! For all the other friends and family, we have missed you also terribly and can't wait to see you and let to get our know our beautiful little girl! We can't wait to see all of your faces! Please come by if you can and see us this weekend, we may be tired, but want to see all you just the same. Again, pray and God bless all of you..WE LOVE YOU!!

Be safe, and hurry home! We love you, and can't wait to meet our new little niece (cousin) in person. I can't believe your journey is almost over. God has been so good, and He is bringing you back home to begin a new chapter of many. Life as a family of 6! I can say from experience that it's quite a ride but one I wouldn't trade for anything else in the world! God is faithful, and may he continue to bless your whole family as you learn to love each other with a new member. We will see you in a few days. The kids can't wait, but I have to say that Uncle Chris mentioned China and his new niece a ridiculous amount of times in his sermon last night! What's up with that? Anyway, take care and God bless. We love all 6 of you more than you'll ever know! (Yes, I mean Anthony, too!) :)
Love,
Andrea
P.S. I HAVE A NIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mysty, Anthony and Olivia,
I have really enjoyed seeing your journey through all the pictures and posts. I will keep all of you in my prayers this week as you travel back home safely. I know you can't wait to get home to your boys, family and friends and be the complete family of 6, how exciting!!
I look forward to seeing more pictures of her soon.
Take care and God Bless you always.
Love,
Katie Cooley
Hi Langley Family,
I'm Julie's aunt and Alana's great-aunt and I have been following your journey with Olivia and keeping you all in my prayers.
What a beautiful little girl and I know that Alana will be her "best friend" before very long. Both families have been truly blessed with their lovely little girls!
Have a safe flight home and enjoy your beautiful daughter.

I'm so happy for you that your long journey 2+ years is coming to an end and the best part is just about to begin! It's been a roller coaster and I'm so thankful that you've allowed me to share in it with you. I can't wait to hug you both and hold Olivia in my arms and kiss those cute cheeks! God has been amazing in this process and truly shown how He knows our needs and provides more than we could ever expect. Be safe on the last leg of your travels and I pray the flight is short and medicated ;)
Love you all and can't wait to see you this weekend!!!!
Anthony, Mysty and Olivia
As Andrea said about you having 4 children and her knowing how it is,I never in my wildest dreams a few years ago that I would be a grandparent to 8 beautiful healthy kids.
One never knows what God in His infinite wisdom has in store for you. Not only has he blessed me with wonderful children,who or serving Him, but he has brought a daughter and son along with that. Mysty and Chris have added to the family in ways that they dont know. With both Anthony and Chris being pastors. Then to add all the grandkids to the group is a blessing beyond compare.
Olivia is not adopted but a gift from God to us through you. It's strange how God gives us the unconditional love in our hearts and the total acceptance of a child that he has chosen to give us to be part of this family. God is so goodto us and we are so undeserving of all his grace and love.
Cant wait for you to get home!!!!
LOVE all of you Dad/Papaw Willie
Words are inadequate to say how we all feel, but here are just a few... Thanks be to God for His Neverending Love and Blessings!!! Hurry, come home to us! We miss you tons! WE want to see Olivia's BEAUTIFUL face and both of yours, too! What Joy!!! There are just a few... Thank you for all the pictures of marvelous sights and places; details of your daily lives while away and most of all our darling little angel! You have made a difficult separation much better for your sweet boys, and all the rest of us too! Now it's time for you to prepare Olivia for some serious spoiling GRANDPARENT STYLE! There's no need to worry the Lord of the journey will guide you wherever you go and God's word assures us of that, but our prayers are always with you... The loveliest part of this adventure is yet to come,when all of your sweet family is together again and we all get to be a part of this... SEE YOU THURSDAY!!!! PRAISE GOD!!! Love So Much, MOM(NANA) and YOUR WONDERFUL LOVING SONS (and PAPAW TOO!!)
I keep looking to see if maybe this isn't the "Last Post!". . .it's killing me! I can't wait 3 more days to hear more!
I am so ready to meet my neice!! I won't be there this weekend but NOTHING could stop me from being there next weekend. We are thinking of you constantly and praying for you even more. Be safe. We can't wait to see the WHOLE Langley family!! Love you!! Kristi & Cort
Hey guys - I am going to miss my latest obsession (checking this site 5 times a day or more) - but I am SOOO glad ya'll will be home so soon. All day today I've been thinking it's Tuesday for ya'll - and only 2 more days til you are home, but I couldn't get that to make sense, so I figured out it would be like Friday for ya'll and Thursday for us - I'm having one of those moments!!! I need my sensible friend Mysty home!! I can't wait to see ya'll in the airport! I'm thinking it'll be Monday when everyone goes home before I bring my entourage (SP??) over because you have so much wonderful family that will be here to be with ya'll.
God is so awesome! I can't say enough how much He is all over your lives (and mine) - but He brought you this far - for this long - just for this experience and this particular Child. Wow He is go GOOD!! hey - and I can't believe I had 4 kids before you!! HAHA that's an even bigger surprise! God definitely has a sense of humor....
Love ya'll and miss ya'll!! Be safe! We can't wait to hug you! (and kiss Olivia)
Hey There,
Well, you are almost homeward bound! This has been so great and such a blessing to be able to keep up with ya'll and to share this experience with all of you was and still is amazing!!! Please try to plan a trip down south somewhere so we can see ya'll. I know it will be awhile before you want to travel again, but I just can't wait to see you after what 10 years or so, I miss ya'll! Ya'll are in our thoughts and prayers as your journey nears an end, an end in China, but your journey here with your daughter is only beginning! God Speed!!! God Bless and Be Safe!!
With deepest Love,
Wendy and Family
What an amazing journey you have all been on. I am so honored to say that you are our friends and so proud of you for what you have accomplished and the faith you have had to get through this awesome experience. It seems like yesterday we were both crying to each other about NO REFERRALS again and now you are on your way home to the rest of the family with your precious little China angel. I cannot wait to meet her (all of you for that matter). Godspeed for a quick plane ride, (ha, you know what I mean), for Olivia to sleep and for all the connecting flights to go well.
With love,
Matt, Jennifer, Joshua and Madelyn (who can't wait to meet her pal from China).
It has been 2 days since your last post and I am having withdrawal!!!I dont want to miss a day in your lives and what Olivia is doing.
It is 28 hours and 38 min. util you are to arrive at the airport, and it seems like a week.
The anticipation is on everyone and time is standing still. I know you are excited to be on your way home but not looking fordward to the long flight.
My prayers and those of everyone else are being lifted up on your behalf as you travel. Pray that Olivia will make the trip well and will allow you to get some rest on the flight. "God, grant Anthony, Mysty and Olivia peace and safety during the trip home to us".
Love you, Dad/Papaw Willie
I goofed!!!! It will be 51 hours from now that you get to the airport. I have been thinking it was Wed. already, but it is only Tuesday afternoon. Wishfull thinking on my part. Praying with out ceasing anyway. Just starting a little early.
Love dad
YaY!!! We can't wait 2 C ya'll!!!! Eli can't wait 2 meet his new friend! God is So GOOD! LoVE Ya'll~The Delonys
