Four years ago I began the journey to adopt my daughter from China. After an endless wait I found my girl.

Addendum to We Are Home Post
Forgot to add a little tidbit to our journey home that made our arrival all the more interesting. When we were in Beijing boarding the plane home we had to gate check the stroller. The gentlemen that took it was going to put it in a bag then onto the plane. At Newark when we deplaned it wasn't waiting for us. We had to wait a few minutes for it. When it arrived Kathy took it out of the bag (I was holding Taylor) and set it up. We then realized that one of the front wheels was missing. It wasn't in the plastic bag and of course the person who brought it up was no where to be found to see if it was down below. On person we asked said it wasn't his job to go down and look for it. We had to wait for all the other passengers to get off to get the attention of the flight crew. They tried to help but since it was an international flight they couldn't go down to look either or find someone to look. Oh well. We were able to still use the stroller for our carryons and then after we got the luggage cart we put Taylor in it and were on our way. It is going into the garbage on Thursday and I will buy another one. As we said, it was made in China (had to add some humor to the situation!!!!!!)

Don't know how much it was, but since you gave it to the airline in one piece and it came back missing a piece, you should make them reimburse you for the cost. How does an airline bag something and still manage to lose a part?
Glad you are home safe and sound!
I agree with Sue.
Our stroller wasn't bagged and we got it back in one piece. Weird.
Here is one you won't believe.... I still have the one we used in China for Wendy!
At least you guys made it home in one piece.
