The Great Wall of China
The past two days were filled with city tours and site seeing. The highlight was visiting and climbing to the top of The Great Wall of China… Lots of steps!
We were joined by two other families also adopting children through CWA yesterday and are so blessed to have others here experiencing all of this with us!
Tomorrow morning we leave the hotel at 5am for the airport to fly 2 and 1/2 hours south to Nangchan City. After checking into our hotel, our guide will then take us to the China Adoption Affairs office where we will meet our daughter! It’s hard to imagine that after 5 and 1/2 years of waiting THE DAY has finally come! I think that we’re 14 hours ahead of Central time. If we meet her at 2pm China time that would be midnight Central time… So, when you wake up Monday morning, we’ll have RaeAn in our arms! How exciting is that!
Pray for her adjustment and bonding with our family, that it will be smooth and quick. As well, please pray that we will be able to interview her caretakers. We have many questions!
Below are a few pictures from Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy:)
