Our Journey Back to China

Last year, we went on the trip of a life-time. With the company of other adoptive families and friends, we toured the beautiful country of our children's birth. We experienced so many amazing adventures and were able to enjoy all of them together, laughing and supporting one another. 

We also had one of the most amazing experiences of our lives -- meeting Maelyn's birth family. It was an experience that is difficult to put into words. (scroll below this post to see the posts from last year's trip)

So why go back again so quickly, only a year after our last trip? The answer is simple. For the love of our children and their first families. While we had the privilege of meeting the birth family last year, we were only able to spend a few days together. This year, we will not be touring China, but spending the entire time with the family, getting to know one another and simply spending time together. Time for the siblings to hang out, time for family members to connect. 

We leave for China tomorrow and getting there will be its own adventure. It will take us four flights and 48 hours to get there, but once there, we will settle into our hotel and stay in one spot. Please check back for updates, if you would like to follow along!
