This will be my last post as tomorrow morning Don flies home with the computer. We are following the next day. Hooray!! I would love to return to China some day, but being here with a new baby has made it difficult to see much. This whole thing is so surreal. Adoption is a labor of it’s own kind. Whether a baby passes through your body or through customs they both have their own equally difficult transitions. And, like labor, I imagine someday I will forget the hard part and just remember what a beautiful time it was. The exhaustion and anxiety of last week has already faded a bit. All I can tell you is it is worth every second. We have our baby and our family feels complete.
Tonight we are going on a dinner cruise of the Pearl River and tomorrow is our farewell dinner.
Friday we board China Southern Airlines and we will arrive at LAX 5:50 p.m. I can’t wait for you all to meet Addie and more importantly I can’t wait to have a diet coke in a cup with ice.
Love,
DeAnne (Go Gators!)

Dear Family of FIVE and my dear Deanne, I drive through Toluca Lake and I think of you. I go to the office and I think of you. I'm driving to the cleaners and I think of you. You are always in my heart and frequently on my mind. I was just able to access your blog, as I'm almost totally inapt with computers. Glad to get the good news….. Jan
