On our way to our girls!!!

We are on our way to our girls finally.  A year after we started the process we are getting ready to board a plan to Hong Kong!  It is also National Adoption Month so couldn't be better timing to bring two very special girls home and give them a family that they have dreamed about up to know.

Since we only got permission to book tickets last week, there weren't a lot of options.  There were no flights available for all of us to Chicago so we flew in last night.  We are getting ready to head to the airport soon but don't fly out of here until 2.  We are just excited and ready to go.

We brought Maddie and Macy with us.  We feel like this is an amazing experience and they need to be a part of it.  When Max and Mia came home they were younger.  The trip was shorter as well.  So they didn't go.  This time is different.  Maddie is 10, Molly is 9, Macy 8 and Meilin 5.  Since they are close in age we want all the bonding to start in immediately.  We feel it is best and are excited to have them along on this journey with us!  They were very excited about the flight last night.  Macy can't believe she is in Chicago!  I guess with all the saving for all the adoptions we haven't traveled much.
China is going to blow their minds!

Yesterday was crazy doing everything that we put off doing.  It all didn't get done but we got packed and left.  It was terribly hard to say goodbye to Mia Max and Travis.  I rarely leave them let alone for 16 days!  They are in good hands though.  It will be hard but we will survive and Molly and Meilin need to come home!
