Homeward Bound....

Good Bye to China for now. It goes without saying China is always in our thoughts with our two angels. We will certainly miss our new friends and the bonds that have developed over the last 2 weeks. At the same time we can't wait to be home with you and sharing our joy in person.

The last 2 weeks have been wonderful, we could not have asked for better. yes there were ups and downs, but in the end the most important thing is Mia is now a full part of our family, the journey has been an unqualified success.

Some final photos from China....


First the White Swan Red Couch Baby shot...


And the Photographers....

The Oklahoma Meinens





The Meinen Clan





Most of The Group



We are scheduled to be on United 896 from Hong Kong to Chicago, arriving in Chicago at 11:44 AM then (and finally) United Express 7889 from Chicago arriving at 5:36 Wed. afternoon.
All that is left for us to say is.... We are blessed...

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. Look forward to meeting you when you get home. After we get back from China we will need to get the girls together to play. Congrats!

I feel so privileged to have been able to follow each day of this great and meaningful event in your lives-we already love Maddie and hope to be able to meet Mia very soon and love her also. I must admit that each day when I would read I would be very touched emotionally. Maggie and Scott

Oh Miss Maddie..I am so excited for you!! You are a Big sister. I know you will be the biggest helper to your parents and will be a wonderful example for Mia. You have been so patient and excited for this and I am so glad the day is finally here.

I miss seeing you at school and getting those great hugs.

Congratulations to you and your beautiful family!

Love...Ms. Lindsay (your old teacher at FUMC)
