It’s 6:45 a.m. in Korea and we’ll soon be on our way home!
Once Sarah got to sleep last night (which took a while), she slept all night long (which is better than Joleen and I did!). She woke up a few minutes ago and is content to hang out in the crib while we finish up. Then we’ll get her ready and head out the door.
We’re meeting the driver from SWS at 7:10 a.m. to take us to the bus stop. The bus will take us to Incheon International Airport and our Korean Air flight is scheduled to depart at 10:40 a.m. We’re scheduled to arrive at Washington Dulles International Airport around 13 hours later.
Then, once we get Sarah through customs (in Detroit, that process was a dream; we’re hoping for a smooth process at Dulles, as well), we’ll head home to unite our family! We’re looking forward to seeing Ethan and introducing him to our new baby girl, Sarah.
In he days ahead, as we get all of us on the same time zone/schedule, we’ll blog about our adjustment, especially Sarah’s and Ethan’s. We also have some more photos to post.
Thanks for your prayers and words of encouragement

A lot has happened in the last few days. We’ve introduced our new baby girl, Sarah, to the world, shortly after meeting her, ourselves. We’ve written about the beginning of Sarah’s transition into our family (which will continue over the weeks and months to come), continued in a post about being ready to go home.
Overall, today, our one and only full day together in Seoul before flying home tomorrow, has been a very good day (which has included only a few fussy moments).
She’s having some fussy moments now,though, as we finish up packing while also trying to get her to go to sleep. But we’re hoping for another good night and good, though long, trip home!
FYI, our 13+ hour flight is scheduled to depart from Korea tomorrow at 10:40 a.m. Korea time (Friday, 9:40 p.m. Eastern Time). We would appreciate your prayers for a good flight with Sarah (and 3.5-hour car ride home in a car seat, most likely a new experience for her)!
Well, before we finish up in Korea, here are some images from yesterday and today, from our first hours with Sarah.
