From updates.theworldrace.orgLast week I shared about how Jenn Watson, a racer, fell in love with a little boy named Zi Ping at an orphanage in China. Jenn felt like he would fit perfectly in her family, and she decided to take a risk and try to make it happen.ย 

She asked her sister Katie and her brother-in-law Josh if they would be willing to adopt Zi. They immediately agreed, and they've dedicated the last year to bringing him home.

ย 

God opened every door and last week they boarded the flight home from China. Their family and a few racers were there waiting for them. Here's a video of their emotional meeting at the airport. We showed it to our staff this Monday and needed a few extra tissues in the room.
