U.S. Adoption
 

 
Alyssa's Homecoming
 
Our family has been blessed with four biological children and  with four new additions from China. Our adoption journey began in 2002 when  my husband decided we had a child waiting in China. Fast forward to today, our fourth child recently arrived home through the help of Heritage  Adoption Services.
 
Alyssa was listed on one of their waiting child program lists from  China due to a congenital heart condition. All of our children adopted  from China have joined our family through the same program for a "waiting  child" aka "special need child." When we saw the list that  Heritage received from the CCAA, after one glance, my husband knew  this certain little girl was our daughter. We took another leap of  faith and claimed Hong Ying as our own.
 
 
Heritage made the adoption process, paperwork /dossier, waiting, travel preparation, and the trip for my husband so effortless. We normally  traveled together for adoption trips, but this time Michael went alone to China to meet Alyssa and bring her home. Vicki, Peggy, Thessie, and  Kim were a dream come true with all their experience in assisting  us from start to finish. They were very encouraging through all the waiting which probably means the most to an adoptive parent. The guides in China were  super! Kathy, in China, was beyond belief with how well everything was  planned and how smoothly the adoption process was completed in  every city. Heritage was very flexible with our wishes at travel time.  They always kept our best interest in mind during every phase of  the journey.
 
Thank you for a flawless journey to our little Alyssa!
