In the world of adoption, airport homecomings are special.
There is just nothing like seeing a family arrive, excited but
weary from travel, the intense emotions, and the long battle to bring their child home. In that moment, home has such new meaning.
As a waiting family, we must admit that showing up is a bit selfish.
Seeing a family's journey end its waiting phase is fuel to keep waiting, keep fighting and keep believing. A reminder that one day we'll step off a plane as well, a family of five.

| We had the privilege last week to welcome home a special family who faithfully endured the China wait. Their story is one of faith, hope, grief, love and beauty. |

| Our girls have been praying for their girls, so they were excited to see those prayers answered. Even duck didn't want to miss out. |
Welcome home, Anna Grace and Noelle!
Such a rush for this adoptive momma,
and such a thing of beauty for our girls to see.

Every time I climb that long escalator at the ATL airport, my heart swells as I remember that climb with Maggie in my arms. There is nothing like it. Congrats to your friends for making "the climb" and reaching the peak. Jessica
