How many days?

Mike will leave for China on Oct. 25th. He will come home on Nov. 8th with our new daughter Molly. That's like 39 days. I can't believe after all this time, more than a year of paperwork and waiting, our time has finally come.

Katie keeps asking if Molly's mommy will be coming home with daddy to stay. How do you explain? How will I explain her own adoption to her? Two adopted kids, 2 homegrown kids, I wish we could have just as many more. 8 is such a happy number. (my husband would fall over ...!)
