What a wonderful 2 weeks it has been, but today we are saying good bye to Vietnam. It is a little sad, but we are ready to see our boys and introduce them to their sister. This morning at about 10:00 am, we were able to get flights out for this evening. We are packed and ready to go. We will be arriving in St. Louis at 10:00 am Sunday morning.
We have loved our trip. We have met some wonderful people/children, and seen some of the most amazing things we could ever see. We are walking away from here with a new appreciation of the small things in life. Most of all, we are walking away with one of the most precious gifts we could have ever received. Almost 9 months ago, a women gave birth to a child in a hospital, waited 24 hours with her, and then made the hardest decision any mother/parent could make. She walked away, hoping to give that little girl a better life. I have thought many times about Claire's birth mother, and I hope today wherever she is, that she has peace about the decision she made so many months ago. To this woman, we will be forever greatful! We have a deep respect for her. Afterall, she chose life for our little girl.
We cannot wait to see all of you. Thank you for following us on our journey to Claire.
We love you guys,
Garrett and Heidi
