Goodbye China

June 28, 2007
Today we are heading home. We all have had a great time here and wish to come back again but we are ready to head home. We are all pretty worn out and anxious to get these babies home, sleep in our own beds and get some laundry done LOL!!! Ali is back to her normal self; giggling,smiling,squirming,exploring and very active. We will miss this place. This has truly been a life changing trip in more than one way. We have learned so much and gained a lot of perspective about the world we live in. We are so blessed at home. We'd like to say thank-you to our guide Ma Rui (Mary) for showing us such a great time and helping us get everything done we needed. We'd like to thank the Chinese people for being such gracious hosts. Thank-you China for trusting us with your most precious resource and providing us with the greatest gift of all..our Ali. We will love her forever and cherish her always and we won't forget you when were gone....thanks everyone for following along on our trip and we'll see you all soon. Can't wait to be able to read your comments when we get home. I hope to keep posting now and again as we watch Ali grow up. Bye for now.

Dave, Jen and Ali,,, can't wait to see you. Your journey hasn't been alone,, there are so many people who care about your wonderful new family. The experience has been a joy for me to follow through the years,, thanks for letting me in and being a part of your life. I'm sure there are many people who feel the same as me and have truly loved every minute of your journey to bring Ali HOME. We're not there in China, but our hearts have followed you endlessly. See you soon. Tracey

Dave and Jen,
What an incredible journey! I have been reading your posts from China with great interest. So glad that you are home safe and sound with Ali! It is wonderful that she was here in time to celebrate Canada Day! I can't wait to meet her....
I just wanted to say that you are both truly inspirational! I do feel that you are right - Abby is watching over you all! I'm sure that she is very proud of the parents that you are!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
