Adoption - Part 6

The Early Edition In LA - February 15, 2007

Emma likes 7-Up (at least I think that was it says in Chinese).

A little boy from the orphange comes up and takes Ben by the hand.

It's VERY early morning in LA. We have some serious jeg-lag! We are all wide awake at 3:00AM. Now we are just waiting to get ready for our flight from LA to Birmingham later today. I don't have any new photos, but I will post some that I couldn't fit in the previous journals.

Home Sweet Home - February 16, 2007
The last leg of the long 19 hours of flight to get home.

Emma is ready for her first day at church

We finally made it home!!! Hooray!! We don't want to fly on another airplane for a while. But all the long hours of traveling were worth it. She is precious!
In one way, our journey has come to an end; yet, in another way, it is just beginning. We are excited to see what God has planned for this special little girl, as well as for both of our big boys. Our prayer is that our kids will love God, love others, and serve the world. Each of them is a gift from God and a blessing to our family.
Thank you for joining us in this adoption process. It's been great to share this adventure with you. Thanks for your prayers and encouragement. To God be all the glory!
