Hi everyone. I am posting some information for a blogger "friend" who is hoping to head back to China. Her name is Kennedy and she was adopted several years ago. There is a trip being organized to visit her orphanage in China and she is really hoping she can go back to China for this trip! She is trying to raise some funds for her trip and I said I would include her link on my blog. You can read all about her amazing trip back to China and her fundraising initiatives.

Speaking of heading back to China...Evan is still missing China and his foster mama so badly. He talks about China every day and most days he is asking us when he can go back. He says he "loves China so much" and "misses his China". This is so hard for him...his english is fantastic now so he is able to share a lot about his life in China and he openly admits how much he misses his mama and big brother in China. We have told him we will try to go back to China when he is 10 but that is still 4 years away. And, really, how will we afford a trip to China for 6 people!!! Maybe just one of us will take Alyssa and Evan back - I don't know. Maybe the boys will be working and can save a bit of their own money for their trip.
It is really heartbreaking to hear Evan talk about his mama and how he misses China. He was so loved there.

Hey Tammy!
Isn't this just what we all wonder when we bring our children home. First, yes, Evan was so loved in China, AND Evan is so loved in the MacKinnon family, and he knows that and feels it. I hope you will be able to take him back for a visit to China, and I hope to be able to come back to Ukraine with Audrey. I can just hear Evan's little voice in his sweet, relentless way, aksing when you will take him back. You know, it's true that God gives us our children, and He knew that Evan would grow up in your home where he is free to tell you all the things he misses about China and you honor who he is and that he has people in China that he loves and a heritage that he misses. Not everyone would. God knew you would!
That's what makes you so special, you really listen to a child's cry.
Love you tons,
Megan
