Homeward Bound!

It seems too good to be true - but tomorrow morning we leave bright and early for home.  We have lots to share about this incredible experience.  We've learned so much about so many things during this process - and it almost seems bitter sweet to be leaving this place - but as much as we've grown through adoption, about China and its culture, about the amazing families that went through this tedious process for the second and sometimes third time, and how important giving homes to special needs children is, and finally how so many brave children like Lena endure.  Janna and I never expected how much this experience would teach us.





We're all packed and excited to bring our Lena home!
