It's great to be home!! The trip home was 30 hours door to door. Angelina was pretty good on the plane. A few screams, but it didn't matter much on the flight to LA since there were 2 dozen babies on board. On the the redeye home there were a few screams, so we hung out at the stewartess area for about an hour or so to let the passengers sleep.

The bus ride to the airport in Guangzhou was very touching and sad. The China team sang some lullabies that made us all cry; especially Mothers are the Best on Earth; Miss Sarah made everyone break down. Then Martin went on to say a few words, and couldn't even finish his speech. He wanted us to know that China loves their Children and they are not throwing them away. (There is a one child policy in China. If a woman is pregnant and the authorities find out she has another child, she will be taken to the hospital where the child is aborted and the woman is sterilized. Only in certain cases can the families have 2 children.)So the woman who carry their babies to term in secrecy, deliver them at home and drop them some place safe where they will be found, really do love their children. So Martin asked that we tell our children that their parents love them and China loves them. It was so intense. There was so much love on that bus. Then one of the fathers got up to thank the China team of US Asian Affairs and thanked China for our babies and promised that we would take care of their children and tell them about their homeland. This father was breaking down emotionally as well. Both men and woman, mothers and fathers and male and female on the China team were all in tears. Very, very heartfelt. We will NEVER forget those precious moments that we all shared.
