Last night in China

Well, it's hard to believe tonight is our last night in China...and
we celebrated with a bang!!! The whole group went to the Hard
Rock Cafe in Beijing. It was again quite an experience...we had a
band of Chinese guys singing to us... two of the singers looked like
Adam and Danny from the last season of American Idle...Angel
was thrilled she thought they were the actual singers from the
T.V. show.

It was a magical night...a room filled with Happy parents feeding,
dancing with, singing to and just loving our new babies and big
girls too. Saying good-bye to a country that gave us our children.
..our hearts desire and looking forward to coming home to enjoy
our life with them.

Tears filled my eyes many times tonight...dancing cheek to cheek
with my little flower Georgia was pure heaven. Looking at Milana
and Wanda gazing into each other's eyes. Watching Angel and
Dahlia dancing and laughing also brought tears to my eyes as I
thought back to 2004 when we left Beijing with them. Before we
got on the last bus to the airport we saw that they were holding
hands side by side in their little stroller...as if they knew they
were about to leave their homeland forever. I think bringing them
with us was hard on us as parents, however I believe the benefits
were worth it.I am so happy Angel got to see China and experience
all that she did. I thank God that He kept us all safe and well.

As for Angelo, I must say He always finds new ways to amaze me.
I thank God for him. He is the best Dad in the world. He loves
his girls and they love Him. And I love the way he loves us!!!

Our guide Charlotte was also a gift from God..."CHINA'S FINEST"
we were very lucky to have such a wonderful person to lead us
through this journey. Saying good-bye to her will not be easy.
I will never forget her kindness and all the hard work that she
did. Most of all I will never forget the ride back from Civil Affairs
on GOTCHA DAY when she sang like an angel to the babies in
Chinese...very special!!!

We were also lucky enough to arrange to see Cherry our guide
from 2004 another beautiful and gentle soul. She was very
happy to see Angel and Dahlia and I am glad they got to meet her.

As for me I am so tired and will be up tonight packing...again!!!
This time to come home...Home sweet Home!!! I cannot wait to
walk through my front door, the four of us finally together...
forever...in God's care.

We will be arriving home at 9:15 Friday night and cannot wait for
Miss Georgia Anastasia to meet all her new family and friends.

Until then!!!
