It is now 11:15 pm on Friday night, we are less than 7 hours from starting our journey home. This is Sophia's last night in China and she starts a completely different life tomorrow. We can not thank you all enough for logging in each day and taking this journey with us. Thank you for your prayers and comments on the blog. Our plan is to fly directly to Tulsa and spend 3 days there and return to Atlanta on the 11th. We are facing 4 different aircraft changes and over 20 hours of flying. If all goes to plan we will be in Tulsa Sunday morning. It is sad that this is our last blog entry on what has been a fantastic time together as a family, meeting wonderful people that are now a part of our lives and we are all now part of a new community. This has been a journey of faith and hope and now love and we can't wait for you all to meet her.
Please keep us in your prayers as we are traveling and we will see you in a few days.
In love
Michael, Elizabeth, Ali, Matt, Maggie and Sophia

Cannot wait to see you all, each and every one, hugs and kisses and just absolutely cannot wait to see our beautiful newest niece! Praise the Lord. Prayers continue for safe travel. I will sign off now to avoid babbling. Love, ttz
Thank you Newlins for letting us be a part of your journey! I have so enjoyed the continuous updates on your new addition. Sophia is adorable and is a perfect addition to the Newlin clan.

for your safe travel.
You know what this means? I need a new Grandma and all my sweet grandchildren picture.
Thanks for letting me go with you to get Sophia by way of the blog.

the first thought to my mind was....GODSPEED...it was taken. Megan said, "graciously" we await our turn...there's no gracious here, dying to see all of you! Ruthy said, safe journeys...ditto! And yes yes ditto ditto to all the others too! Love you love you love you....see you soon...not soon enough! Glory to God!

I am sooooo excited for your family. It has been so encouraging to me to witness the adoption of Sophia through your blog. It has meant so much. Safe travel and God bless you.
oh - please, please, please - continue this blog forever and ever! I so very much want to be witness to the entire Newlin family growing together! I am still checking the site with wishful hopes that we will get to see the big Tulsa family photo and everyone's reaction to sweet Sophia! Please!!! Love you!
I'm w/ Ruth on this one!
Love, kcs
