Today was our "goodbye" day. Ugh... goodbyes are no fun! However,
we are SO SO ready to go home and figure out what is going on with
Little Buddy it isn't nearly as hard this time.
Goodbye to the beautiful Garden Hotel...
Goodbye sweet China friends...
Unfortunately, we didn't have an official travel group this trip but we met many sweet families along the way. We were blessed to finally meet my friend Kristi and her sweet family. We adopted our girls, Mei Mei and P, at the same time but missed each other in China by about two weeks. This time we were able to meet once they arrived in Guangzhou.

| Wild Man and C = instant friends |
Goodbye to our absolutely PHENOMENAL guide, Elvin.
He is funny, hard working and dedicated to these children. He was SO wonderful to us especially concerning Little Buddy's seizures and health. He walked with us through some of the scariest days of our parenting career with great confidence. He knew what needed to be done and he did it. He understood our viewpoint and went to bat for us when I know others would not have done the same. He is the reason our little buddy is coming home without issue or delay (with the Big Guy's help of course). We are forever grateful...
Goodbye to our driver who chauffeured us in crazy China traffic for 10 days straight. I am certain he would do well in the Nascar circuit...
Goodbye to parenting only two handsome boys...
I've
never been happier to see two boys in the same photograph. God heard
the prayers of a big brother who dreamed of having a little brother.
Not only did He hear them but He answered in His timing in the most amazing way. I am
bursting with anticipation to see all four of my blessings together in
one photo!!
So long, farewell
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye
Goodbye to life in a hotel...
Goodbye to the city that gifted us two blessings...
Goodbye to the country we love so deeply...
Hello sweet girls we missed so much...
Hello to life as a family of six...
Hello to putting the pieces of Little Buddy's puzzle together...
but first the 40 hour adventure to home...
