Time to come home!

I can't believe its time to say this but in the morning we begin the long journey home.  The last two days have been very busy so I'll have to create a post after we get home with pics.  Our first flight out of Guangzhou is at 9:25am Wednesday for us or Tuesday night at 7:25pm for everyone at home.  We will arrive in the Bham airport at 9:53pm Wednesday night.  27 hour journey!  Anyone who wants to be there is welcome to come, we would love to see you all!

As many of you know, the attachment and bonding with an adopted child is very different from a biological child.  While Emma Kate is doing very well, we still need time for her to learn what a family is and she still has two brothers to meet and understand who they are.  To help her through this transition, Robert and I will be the only people to hold her, give her any food including snacks and treats and to meet any needs she may have.  Please understand that we want to share Emma Kate with you all but we have to get through this time of attachment and bonding.  We don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, we just need to do what is best for our daughter.  Please do not reach for her, we don't know if she would go to anyone but it is very important that we are the only people holding her at this time.  We are looking forward to arriving home and seeing some familiar faces.  Thanks for your prayers throughout this entire journey!
