This was our last day. Karen woke up with a sore throat and a little congestion so we are taking it easy. We did a late breakfast and walked through the island stepping into the little shops and buying some last minute purchases. After a Starbucks break we headed to the hotel for the last of the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a well deserved nap (for Sienna and Brooke).
We are checking out tonight, taking Brooke to the doctor one last time and picking up our laundry before having one last meal here in Guangzhou. We have to have our bags out the door by five am. We are taking China Southern from Guangzhou to Hong Kong and then checking into United #856 for the ride home and arriving in Terminal 7 LAX at 8:35am the same day! So we will be home, tomorrow, the 21st with the latest member of the the family!
We have mixed emotions leaving China and we definitely miss this beautiful and ever changing world that Brooke has come from. She is surely a gift to us and we feel so blessed that we have been able to complete our family through international adoption. It feels like Brooke is just the most perfect fit for our family and we don't understand nor do we have a clue about the amazing job that the CCAA does matching these children to the right families.
This is our last post in China...we are looking forward to getting home and getting on with the real journey...life with Brooke and as a family of four. Thank you all for following us. We will update again stateside once we have settled in a bit.
With love, Karen, John, Sienna and Brooke (Chang Chang pronounced Chung Chung)
