We're on the way!!

Saying good-bye to Brett was the hardest thing I have ever done. I still can't believe that I won't get to see him (except through Skype) for 17 days! I am really not sure how I am going to make it. Putting him to bed last night and walking out of his room was almost impossible. My sweet, sweet boy. I held it together until it was time for bed, and then I let the tears fall. When Mom got him up this morning he said, "Ma, where's mommy?" When she told him that we were on the airplane to China he said, "Oh yeah, Mommy is sad". Oh sweet boy- you have no idea how sad.
Our alarm went off at 3:30am this morning- just three short hours after we went to bed! We are now sitting in the Newark airport waiting for our flight to China. In 16 hours- we will be in Beijing- it is still so hard to believe. We still don't know what time exactly we will get Kate, but we know it will be sometime Thursday morning- which is Wednesday night for y'all. I will update when we get to China and let you know the details.
Please continue praying for all of us- especially for Kate. Her world is about to change forever- and she has no idea. I can only imagine her thinking who is this lady that won't stop crying and who is this big tall white dude with her? If she only knew how long we have loved her.
Next post from China!!!!!
