Hi all!
We are safely in JFK airport and are now waiting for our flight to Chicago. My father-in –law took us to a hotel last night in Newark and we had a great night sleep and then woke this morning, showered, ate and made our way to JFK. Smooth sailing!! My mother in law has the kids, they did pretty good saying good-bye to us. Tommy gave me a little bit of heart ache when saying good-bye but he made me proud and it is good to feel his strong hug when I was leaving. I know he sad we are leaving but he is so excited to soon meet his new brother. Paige did pretty good, she just expects us back tomorrow as she is too young to understand the time concept. I cant believe our journey is underway and we are actually on our way to China in just a few short hours!
About Me

- My name is Tracy and I am married to an amazing man, his name is Thomas! We are a busy family that is always on the go between church, school, work and sports.... we are not a sitting around kind of family. We have 4 amazing children and are working on bringing home Elias to make 5. My hubby is Deaf and I am a sign language interpreter,we are very involved in the Deaf community and are excited to be adding another Deaf member to our family. Our kids, Aaron-19, Luke-11, Tommy-10 and Paige-5 are anxious for their new brother to be home. This is our second adoption and we are learning more everyday to lean on God, this journey is already strengthening our faith! We are working on learning how to turn everything over to God and know that He has a perfect plan and all will happen in His time! Good things come to those who wait.

I miss you already but know god is with you. P.s Tell tom I love and miss him.
So glad you had a good night's sleep! (especially since I was so worried and nervous for ya that I couldn't sleep lol).
Who could have ever convinced you 15 years ago that your first international trip would be not only to China but that it would be combined with the adoption of your 10 year old son?! An amazing journey and one that is not only blessing your family but many other families. Huge hugs and TONS of prayers!!
I have 2 wonderful daughters that were adopted in China. There is a deaf student at the school I work at that was adopted 2 years ago in China. He is doing great! Excited to follow your journey and praying for you along the way! HAPPY TRAVELS!!!!
P.S. Just noticed this is your first International trip. Our first airplane FLIGHT was to China!
Praying for you Tracy and family.... keeping a check on your journey... praying you through the process.
