August 18, 2010 From the airplane on the way to Beijing vai Seattle from Atlanta....

Halfway over Nebraska I pull up the computer to write about the effect Mary Beth CHapman's book is having on my heart as I fly to Cori. The screensaver came up with her picture and the man behind me asked if we were adopting. They are adopting a 7 year old girl named Lily. We talked for a long time when the couple in front said they were adopting a son who is almost two. We don't feel so alone.....but we are worn out already. Over 2 more hours until Seattle. Altitude 36,000 feet. We are now over Wyoming. We just flew over a town called "Wright".---
