We depart on 2/13/08! We'll be in Beijing until Sunday when we fly to Changsha (in Hunan region where our babies are). On Monday, we get Tianna! We'll stay in Changsha until late in the week, then fly to Guangzhou for the rest of our trip. This is where the U.S. Consulate is. There will be lots of paperwork flying around there. On 2/28, we fly to Shanghai, then directly to Chicago arriving around 4 pm. We arrive in Chicago 1 hour before we left Shanghai -- isn't that fun?
We are ecstatic! Furiously purchasing and packing! The purchasing is for all the drugs our agency suggests we bring along. And baby items, of course. I think I've forgotten more than I remember about what a 9-month old baby needs/wants. Thankfully, Tianna's bedroom is almost complete -- just a few little details to fill in.

We are thrilled for all of you. I can't wait to see and read all your updates while you're in China. Your sweet little family of four. Praise God!

Only a little over 3 weeks until you meet Tianna! We have all been waiting for this a long time, but your hearts have been waiting the longest. Your time in China will be very interesting. We pray that Tianna is healthy, that you all will stay healthy and safe during your travels and that the baby makes an easy transition to being with you. Looking forward to meeting the newest addition to our family!!!
