Today (Thursday) we went to the U.S. consulate building to have the swearing in ceremony and to pick up the "all important" brown consulate envelope that has Sarah's visa. The room was full today (close to 40 families representing 26 states) with families from all over the U.S. who have come to China to bring home a child.
It was great to see all those kids today and know that they are all going home to loving families. It was a heart warming and touching experience. Just amazing. That basically sums up this entire trip.
Are we ready to go home? YES!!! Am I glad I came? Absolutely.
No pictures today (sorry). Need to get ready for bed. Tomorrow is going to be a marathon day. We will be traveling for 24 hours by the time we touch down at home. We are a little worried about Sarah on the flights, but hopefully she'll sleep thru the long one from Beijing to LAX. Please pray that all will go smoothly for us tomorrow. Thanks for all your comments and support!
Grandma and Grandpa W-- please remember Sarah's car seat. I'm sure she'll love her car seat. (NOT!) She thinks that her place is my lap in any vehicle, and we have yet to see seat belts here! So this should make for an interesting ride home. Ear plugs, perhaps? :) Hope not.
3 Kind Words:
We can't wait to meet Sarah!! Thank you so much for inviting us along the way and sharing this experience with us - we've all enjoyed it.
We'll be praying for you to have a safe, unexcitable, return home.
Just like Ginger, I have enjoyed this journey SO much. Thank you! We will also be praying for your safe and HAPPY return home.
I LOVE the picture with you and Sarah! I BET you are ready to be home!! Are you able to take some more time off work to get adjusted?
Good luck with the car seat -and flight!
