Adoption paperwork DONE!

We had our US consulate appt this morning and will get our immigration paperwork in the morning. Feels SO good to be done with the adoption process, especially since we have been in it for 5 years!!! We have added 4 kids to our family in the last 4 years! NOW I'm going to Hawaii! (HA, I wish!) We are thankful to be done and ready to come home! We miss everyone back home. Although it is sad that we are taking Bethany out of her birth country. We hope to bring the kids back someday... Yesterday we were able to visit a beautiful park and museum near our hotel. Austin loved it because the the canons from the 1800s and the bunkers/tunnels from WW 2. He wants to go back today! Last night we went to another Chinese restaurant, also different from the others. It was good. Tonight we are going back to the first restaurant we went to, which is our favorite. Today we need to start packing up because we leave to go to Hong Kong in a van tomorrow afternoon. WE then spend the night in Hong Kong and fly out 4 min. later than the time we will arrive to Fresno. Yeah, figure that out!!! It is 15 hours ahead here. Needless to say the jet lag coming back is MUCH worse! We are thankful that Rod doesn't have to go back to work until May 3rd. We will be sticking close to home. Bethany is doing pretty good. She prefers me over Rod. She can pitch a fit when she is told to do something or doesn't get what she wants. She is also friendly with everyone and anyone who will pay attention to her. So even though most people think that is a good thing, its really not as she needs to learn to attach to us first. So please understand that if we pull her away and need to have her constantly with us for awhile. Please pray for our travels and LONG flight home! Pray that we can get through immigration quickly in SF as we only have two hours before our flight to Fresno leaves. Pray for everyone's transition at home as EVERYONE will need and want lots of attention!
