Hi folks,

My wife and I are leaving for China early tomorrow morning to adopt a baby girl. I have enjoyed being a part of the forum and will be back in October!

All the best to you and your family! Friends here recently returned from Ethiopia with their daughter, and my brother and his wife are also adopting from China. My thoughts will be with you and your daughter! I hope that your trip goes smoothly and that you are soon home safely.

Congratulation! have a great trip over and back. My #2 daughter and her husband adopted (open adoption here in the US) and we all love their little one as much as the other three that came in the family by the more typical route about the same time.

May you all be well, happy and live long and prosper!

Thanks everybody for the kinds words, we're back tonight and now I have to adjust my clock to USA time (12 hours). China is like nothing else I've ever experienced, it was an amazing trip and we have a 9 month old named Emily sleeping right now.

As soon as the jet lag is over, we expect lots of pictures of Emily with Mom and Dad too, of course.

Congrats you are begining the most perplexing and wonderful journey of your lives!!!
