Yesterday afternoon, we went to the US Consulate to take the oath and pick up the paperwork that will allow Micah to gain citizenship when we go through immigration in Detroit on Saturday. It was pretty exciting for it to finally be real. No one can take him from us now. He is our son. I can't tell you how wonderful that feels.
Most of the families in our group left this morning. We spent the day quietly wandering around the island and doing some last minute shopping. We started packing early so we won't have to be up late. I'm a little intimidated by the long flights home, but at some point we will get there. Pray for our time on the plane. We've enjoyed our time in China, but it's time to get home and get started on the rest of our lives. Thank you all for your comments and prayers. They have sustained us through the highs and the lows of this journey.

Ooh..PRAYERS for you for the trip home! Micah is so cute and he looks like such a busy boy. I loved the pictures.
Oh, I recognize that view! Saying prayers for you as you travel home. I remember being very nervous about that long flight. Can't wait to see Micah in person!
Great family photo. Have a safe trip home!
We're thinking about you guys! I remember thinking about the flight...and then not wanting to think about the flight :)...just about being home and being a family! We're sending prayers for a fast, safe, and comfortable flight! Can't wait to see you here at home!
You are in our prayers and we cannot wait to see you at the Airport tomorrow.
Godspeed for a safe, peaceful, quiet flight home.
Michael, Kim and Sheridan

God is GOOD! Praying your family home. Doesn't that sound GOOD?!
Congrats! The plane ride home will finally end, it may not seem like it, but it does.
I enjoyed following your journey in China.
Karen, don't dispair. I was super sick on the flights home and it went suprisingly fast. I'm so glad you had a great time in China. Micah is so worth it! He is really a sweetheart!
Safe travels!
Wating and praying for you anxiously
Love Always

Thank you for sharing your journey to bring Micah home! I've been following your blog religiously since my husband and I will be in China in April (hopefully!), and you've given us a pretty good idea of what to expect.
Congratulations on your beautiful son!
