Homeward Bound

Well this is our last night in China. We are so ready to get home, too bad we have to endure that long plane ride to get there. We found out that two other families are on our same flights to Tokyo and Mpls. One family is from Mankato, MN and they adopted a special needs child. They have a daughter who is 4 that also was adopted from China. The other couple is from Lincoln, NE. Both families are terrific and I'm sure it will be great help.

The US Consulate was packed with people who are adopting. The same was true for the clinic where the medical exams were done and this hotel as well. It's very sad to see all these children leaving their country. Hopefully all or most will come back at some point and perhaps even make a difference in the living conditions in rural areas.

This whole experience has been much better than I imagined. I am certain now that I want to bring Grace back sometime when she's old enough to understand.
