In 7 hours we will be heading home. (We almost weren't!) Sorry no pictures tonight. Things have been hectic.
The day started off great! We did the group and red couch photo. That was fun with 11 babies, most who could not sit up very well. After that we went for lunch at Lucy's and then went strolling around this beautiful island. The weather was beautiful today and I love that we are able to just walk and walk.
On our stroll today we found a Christian church. It sounded like they were having choir practice. They were singing hymns in English! We stopped at a corner bakery and got a ice cream. This whole time Megan was napping.
Next it was off to the US Consulate. That is were the fun began. The guy came out to have us take the oath. (painless, you just repeat after him basically saying that to the best of your knowledge all of the info provide on your paperwork is true) He said that he had some bad news. The way he said it we thought he was joking. We thought he might say those crying babies are forever ours or something like that. No! He told us that the Consulate in DC had been having computer issues since Monday and that of the 55 families there only 9 of the visa were ready! No visa, no travel! After a lot of stress we received the call at about 9 that the visas are ready and Genie is on her way to pick them up! (Love FTIA and especially their in country coordinators!!! After all of the other agencies had left the Consulate we were the only ones still there. Genie and Tracy were working hard to get the staff to stay and try to get the visas printed.)
Our luggage has been picked up and we think we have everything we will need in route. Chuck has gone down to make sure that the bill is taken care of and to spend the little bit of Chinese money we have left.
We have had the best time while here. We have experienced so many wonderful things and made some great friends. It is bittersweet to leave the birth country of Megan.
We will arrive in Indy at 6:09 pm on Northwest flight #1011 from Detroit. We can not wait to see everyone and to introduce you the best little thing that has ever happened to us!!
God is good!
Chuck, Wendi & Megan

It is hard to believe your time in China has come to an end! You have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl! Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable return home. We hope Megan's transition to her new family continues to go smoothly. Congratulations Bridwells!
Praise the Lord you got her visa!!! I currently have a friend in Guangzhou that is "stuck". She sent an email out asking everyone to call their senators and reps so that the US Consulate would work overtime to get everyone home. They will have NO WHERE to stay (because of the trade show) if they do not get their visa!!! YIKES!!!
I am soo happy y'all got yours!!
