Leaving Guangzhou

In a few short hours, we will take Chen Chao Ji from the only life she has known.  When we touch down on US soil Friday afternoon, she will become Harper Grace Scott.  We cannot believe how far she has come in such a short time.  We will do our best to give her the most fulfilling life she can have.  We will help her find her path, and will love her unconditionally.

It has been so wonderful here!  We start each day with an amazing breakfast buffet and we have someone who cleans our room.  That leaves the entire day to just play with Harper and get to know her.  It has been such a blessing to spend so much undivided time with her.

After yearning to get home so badly, I am now having mixed emotions about ending this part of the journey.  It is an end, but also a new beginning.

We are looking forward to starting our new life together.  We look forward to making memories every day and many first experiences.... first time seeing a dog, first time in a car seat, first time sleeping on a memory foam mattress,  first time playing in her new room.

Harper Grace, we thank God for bringing us together.  We are beyond blessed!

We want to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and prayers we have received during this long adoption process.  We love reading the comments you post on the blog or on Facebook.  Your words of encouragement mean the world to us.  I wish I had time to respond and thank each one of you personally.  We cannot express how much it means to us.  We feel so blessed, so honored, so loved!
