Well, we have been home for a week....and it has all gone better then I expected. I am just completely exhausted- it is like all of a sudden I have twins, and toddlers at that! Its a little harder then I thought, but just as wonderful as I expected. I got sick on the plan ride home...never stopped throwing up, on the plane, through customs, immigration, then finally security who called the paramedics (which just ended up being very embarassing!). I made the flight from Chicago to BWI filling up all 3 of our vomit bags- what a nightmare. Thank god for Alexis, thats all I can say!
Here is our Gotcha Day Video in the meantime....

January 1, 2011 : New Years Goal- BRING THIS BABY HOME!
First, let me introduce you to "Kyle". Kyle is in an orphanage in China. This is his photo and description from the orphanage:
ChildID/Name, Birthdate: Kyle, 12/28/1007
Details: "This sweet little boy has Hemophilia (A Grade). His caretakers say "He is so lovely, likes to play with other kids, he likes to put on new clothes, likes to play with aunt, and its interested in the toy car which he can move. He is handsome, extroverted, and active. We all like him and hope there is someone familiar with this disease who could love and care for Kyle so he can lead a full life with his very own forever family."
As of April I know:
- That he was abandoned at 8 months old in a hospital in Shanghai with a brain bleed due to a fall from a bed, and intramuscular bleed due to IM injection, as well as respiratory infection and anemia.
- That he has had many bleeds so far including GI bleeds and shoulder bleeds.
-That every report I have read so far from the hospital shows him as malnourished and with respiratory infections.
- That he does not sing because "in the instution they do not sing or play music"
- That he likes to play with the other kids, and his aunties and caretakers, and seems behind in some areas only because he cannot attend preschool because of his Hemophilia.
-That he is not allowed to go outside to play because of his Hemophilia.
- MOST OF ALL I KNOW THAT I LOVE HIM AND NEED TO GET HIM HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
