We're heading home in the morning. This last leg of our trip has gone too quickly. We have loved Guangzhou, and all of our China experience. We are looking forward though, to getting home and settling into a real routine.
Unfortunately we experienced a technical difficulty and weren't able to load our camera photos onto the computer last night. So, I'll catch up with the blog once we get settled in at home. We arrive home at approximately 3:30pm Pacific time on 6/3. We depart on the 3rd and arrive home the same day due to the 15 hour time change. We're going oceans away from our baby girl's homeland. Our friend Robert described China as "magical" and we can't think of a more perfect description. We commit to honoring and remembering Georgea Lin Zi Luo's Chinese heritage. We, as a family are forever tied to this special place.

Have a wonderful and safe trip home. Enjoy your days of establishing a routine with your new family! Cant wait to hear how it all is going. Much love to all of you! :) Heidi and the rest of the Shorters too!
Oh Blessings on you guys - we loved the pictures - what a captivating smile! We shared many of your experiences too - and like you - came to love China as more than the birthplace of our children - enchanting is a good word for that - it was not at all what we had expected!
Safe travels - (it is about 0630 on 6/3 in China - so you may well be on your way!) and we're looking forward to seeing life at home!
Great joy for you guys -
aus and co.
We can't wait to see you guys! Counting down the minutes until tomorrow. : )
love~Sue, Robert & Alexa
I've loved sharing your experiences through this blog. It is such a joy to watch you both as you journey into parenthood. Parenthood will make you laugh harder than you ever had and cry more than you thought you could. Both are worth every second!~!

Well if you took off on time you should be in the air. I can't believe you are home tomorrow already. We can't wait to see the three of you tomorrow.. So excited!
XOXO,
Christina, Jeff & Isabella
WOW!!!! I can't believe that this part of your adventure is already over!!! It was so "magical" following your time in China on this blog.
Safe travels...safe arrival...and welcome home sweet Georgea!! We're so glad that you're here!
Love from the Chiavacci family
I SO wish I could be there tomorrow to welcome you, James, and Georgea HOME! I really am sad to not be able to share this joyous occasion with you! I know you are excited to get home and establish your "family" in Scottsdale!
Blessings and much love to all three of you! I can't wait to come see you soon and meet Gerogea!
I love you so much!

Wishing the three of you safe travels home! I have loved reading this blog every single day and can't wait to speak to you once you are all settled in at home with your new family of three. Big hugs and kisses. xoxo Gina
The joy of Georgea is the journey to her
The joy of Gorgea is the adventure that will come
The joy of Georgea is the meaning to her name
The joy of Georgea is the way God made her
The joy of Georgea is the first smile that made them smile too
The joy of Georgea is the laughing already done
The jot of Georgea is the laughing that will come
The joy of Georgea is the first bath in the hotel room
The joy of Georgea is many prayers for her
The joy of Georgea is the many people who already love her
The joy of Georgea is the place in their hearts she had even before they saw her
The joy of Georgea is the change that will be made
The joy of Georgea is the God that made her
The Joy of Georgea is the life and experiences that will come with her and the way they will be affected by her love for them
-amanda... I love you guys!!!
James, Amy and Georgea,
Oh my goodness! I just looked at the time...I didn't do this intentionally but realized you should have JUST LANDED! We SO wish we could be there to welcome you home and see your baby girl for the first time. You must be completely excited and exhausted all at the same time. Just think...Georgea is about to step inside her forever home...or at least your home until you move back to Cincinnati...hint...hint...for the very first time! Thank you again for including all of us on your beautiful journey. Seeing Georgea smile was the best "sign off" you could have given all of us.
Now...REST...RELAX...ENJOY PARENTHOOD...and know we have all thoroughly enjoyed watching the three of you become a family. You are such a beautiful family - now all you need is Vida in the mix! This might be a tough transition for her.
Love you guys,
Cathy (and co.)
Welcome home! We look forward to meeting Georgea & can't wait for Thanksgiving, so we plan to visit when you are ready & need a break! Let us know when.
We love you all
John, Eva & the girls
