Good bye China

We are saying goodbye to China. None too soon. This will be my last post from China. It is noon in China and as you can see Addie has gone down for her afternoon nap. We have a wake up call for 4:30 in the a.m. and our bags have to be ready to go at 5:00 so I will have to pack tonight after Addie goes to bed. We leave the hotel at 5:45 a.m. and our flight leaves Guangzhou at 8:30. From there we go to Tokyo, from Tokyo to Detroit and Detroit to Huntsville. Our trip will be somewhere around 22 hours so please pray for us during this time, we will really need it. I want to say thanks to everyone who has posted comments, e-mailed or prayed for us during this trip you have really lifted my spirits many times. There is no way I can thanks to everyone for everything ya'll have done for me and my family but I do want to say thanks to Tom and Laura Morgan. My journey has been much easier with your help. The computer has been a life saver. Thanks to my wonderful wife Leann, knowing Ellyse is taken care of and doing well is a comfort to me. Thanks to everyone. A note for anyone meeting us at the airport: We really appreciate you wanting to meet Addie but there are a lot of bonding issues to deal with when a child has been in an orphanage so no one else will be able to hold her or touch her except me, LeAnn and Ellyse. We don't want to offend anyone but we have to do what is best for Addie. If you are coming a long way to go to the airport you may just want to call us when we get back and come by the house to see her. Thanks again to everyone for everything. Your thoughts have meant more to me than you will ever know.

So long from China,

Kevin and Addie
