Well, finally after about 28 hours, we are in Beijing! Wow, that was a long flight! Everything has been pretty uneventful up to this point, which we are thankful for! We were able to sleep some on the flight from Seattle to Beijing which was good since that was the longest portion of our trip. We had to laugh that the "Western" choice for dinner on the plane was Asian Soy Chicken. Really?
Saying goodbye to the kids was much harder than I anticipated! I think I cried until I got on the plane. I didn't expect that....but I know they are in good hands!
We met up with our guide, Michelle, at the airport as well as another family adopting with our group, from Houston. Michelle said there will be about 6 families total in our group. One other family will be with us the whole time, as they are adopting from the same province as us. She also said we are the only ones to get our child on Sunday!! Woo Hoo!!!
Tomorrow, we will see Tiananmen square, the Forbidden City and visit the Great Wall. It is chilly and rainy here but that's ok!
That's all for now! We'll update as much as we can!
