With visa finally in hand we are ready to head for home. Seven hours from now we will be boarding the first plane back to Buffalo, arriving home Friday afternoon. A heartfelt thank you to the Hoang Ngoc staff for making our stay so comfortable, all of you had such a positive effect on our stay in your country. We never in our wildest dreams expected to encounter so many people as friendly and helpful as you all have been. We feel very fortunate to have met you all. As our baby boy grows, we will tell him often of the wonderful people we stayed with.
Thank you Mr. Tad, Mrs. Jorie, Miss Laura and everyone else at Orphans Overseas for uniting us with our son. Thank you for the hard work all of you put into making our dream come true. You will all have a special place in our hearts always.

I'm so excited that you're finally coming home! I can't wait to see you Karen.
And Tanner...sweet boy, you are a long awaited addition to the most wonderful parents. And I tear up at the thought of finally meeting you and holding you.
My thoughts are with you on your return journey home. I'm praying for your safe and quick travel home.
And then your family's journey will really begin. :)
Love, Aunt Missi/Your Godmom

To Cori, Karen, Ashley, Haley and Tanner.
As you are all on the final stretch of this journey of a dragon fly whose wings have stretched across the world, the tears I shed over this last blog are those of love and a heart warmed by the miracle that has taken place. Of all the things in life that we consider to be of importance, there is none that can match that of family. I too would like to thank every earthly angel who has offered a hand or heart in making your dreams come true, and for bringing to our family a new life. As the years pass and I watch my grandchildren grow, I will never, ever forget this journey of the dragon fly. God's blessings on each and every one of you. As Missi said, it's just the beginning of the journey.
Karen,
Thanks for sharing this picture with all of us. Tanner is so cute! And it is so nice to put faces with the names of those who have made this happen for us! Thanks and have a great trip home! Anna
So glad that you are able to get home on time.
