We know this is a repeat but this photo pretty much sums up how we feel...  WE'RE GOING HOME, YAHOO!  We're being picked up at 1:30 a.m. (in four hours) and we couldn't be more excited!

Though we are more than ready to start our life together as a family back home, a part of our hearts will remain in Kazakhstan - with Sam's caregivers, the six sweet babies we fell in love with in his group at the Baby House, with Sanija, Aigul and the other children we met at the Zhas Dauren, all of the wonderful people who helped us along the way, and with two people we've never met, Sam's birth parents. 

We'll be forever grateful for the gift of our son and we thank God for giving us the honor of raising and loving Sam.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and for all of your thoughts and prayers.  Stay tuned for more updates!
