On our way home!

This will be the last post from China. It is 9:30 p.m. and we have a wake-up call at 4:15a.m. ouch. All of Miya's visa/immigration paperwork is in my bag and her passport is here. We are all exhausted and ready to come home!

Thank you for following along on my journey!! It has really helped to know you were reading and supporting me back home. We all really enjoyed reading your comments everyday.

Thank you to my wonderful brother and mother for coming along on this trip, I couldn't have done it without them and I will be grateful to them forever.

Most of all, thank you China for giving me the most precious gift, my daughter, Miya Mei Xiao

Thank YOU, Sara, for letting us all be a part of this unique experience! It has been amazing and eye-opening to follow along with you for the past two years, learning so much about the adoption process, life in China, and the in's and out's of being an adoptive parent.

I can't wait to continue being a part of your and Miya's life in the States! Have a safe trip home!

Thank you Sara and crew for the great blog. I know it can get to be a grind, but we all loved it.
I pray that everything goes well on your trip home.
What a journey this whole process has been for you. You knew your daughter was in China, so you waited and waited and then you went and got her. Congratulations.

I'm so glad you found the time to write about your time in China.

Can't wait to read about your new life at home with Miya!

Sara,
We have enjoyed seeing your trip throught the blog. This will be such a great record for Miya to have as she gets older. She will be able to see all the love and care that was taken on her behalf!!

Best wishes for a safe trip. The greenough's look forward to meeting Miya in person. You will have to come out and let her play with the chickens and visit the girls. Who by the way are not having babies of their own now... they are both adopting from China : )

Hope to see you soon.
