I think I've finally come to the realization that my life has changed. All through this adoption journey, I had this understanding that Nancy and I are getting a child to love and raise at some point in time. Even this trip to China has been a blur. One day you're sightseeing and waiting to travel to the province. The next day you land and a kid is left in your care as you settle into the hotel room. Even as the door closed and the caretakers left, the realization that we're now responsible for another human being doesn't really hit us.
But now as I find myself holding up a two year old toddler over the toilet multiple times a day while making faces at him, I know for sure things will never be the same around the house again... As I look out into the Guangzhou skyline and the lights flickering along the Pearl River, I think that I better enjoy the quietness around me (it's just after midnight here now) as Noah the troublemaker is going to be a real handful!

Congratulations to you guys for going through what you are going through. This is indeed a challenge. You survived the test. And Noah is your reward. Compared to what you guys have endured with Noah, Kathy was a "picnic" for us...
