We flew into Wuhan City today. I thought it was hot in Nebraska but they call this place the melting pot of China. Ten million people live here and it was 90 degrees and 99 percent humidity. The sky just looks like it could pour but it's just the way it is. This is where we will meet our daughter in 14 1/2 hours. Yesterday we were a little nervous but calmer today but maybe because we didn't sleep last night. It was hard leaving our escort Jerry, in Beijing. Great guy and such a big help! He was with us the whole time. We met a lot of families there and will be reunited with them in Guanghzou. It will be so much fun to see everyone with their new additions! The Midwest was well represented with two families near Kansas City and one from Wichita. We really bonded with a couple from Missippi. Our escort here is named Echo, and she seems wonderful too. She is with us this whole week, even in our hotel so she can help us with language barriers when we need her too. Please pray for us and for an easy adjustment for Lainey. We hope she likes us at least a little bit! Also please pray for our dog Maggie back at home. We hear she is not doing well at all. I will try to post pictures tomorrow of our special day!
Goosebumps! You are SO close to holding sweet little Lainey in your arms . . . finally, and forever. I couldn't wait to get up this morning and see if you've posted anything new. I'm so glad Echo is available to you 24/7 for the week. Don't be afraid to call her. Our escort told us we can call her any time of night, but not if it's a question on where to order pizza. Ha! We are praying for Lainey's adjustment, and will add Maggie to our prayer list too. HUGS!
