Last Night in China: Wednesday, February 14th

Yes, it's hard to believe this is our last night in China. It is with a heavy heart that we take Kennedy from her homeland, all the while knowing that she will have a fresh start in our awesome country Canada with two parents who love her more than anything...

We are worn down and ready to return Summerside. The support we've received from our community has been tremendous, with people sharing our story with their friends and so on...Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

And finally, our dear girl Kennedy, we bring you home to the wonderful people of Prince Edward Island. Finally...we are a family.

Thanks for following along everyone. You can continue to follow our journey when we return home. Stay tuned...

    So glad that you'll be back on Canadian soil soon! Even though I'm WAY out in Ontario (well, Toronto, but far enough from Summerside..) I'm thrilled for you that you'll be home.
