Getting Closer

We are getting closer. We have our flights finalized thanks to some great friends who donated some vouchers to us. We are so greatful! Our flights are ready to go, well almost. We are waiting for a travel agent to email us back and I don't think he's going too to book Tyler's from the province to Beijing. Our adoption agency said to have them book it since you have to check in 72 hours in advance or they bump passengers. I don't think he'll email me back since we didn't use him for our travel plans.

So I think I'll be doing it myself once again. If anyone can give me ideas of how to do this I'd appreciate it. I've looked on flychina.com they look pretty good and we'll just have to remember to call or have someone help us call (who speaks Mandarin) to check him in 72 hours before I guess.

So the count down hasn't begun yet. It should since we know are dates but there is still so much to do. I know its exactly 3 weeks from today that we will be flying to China and about 3 1/2 weeks til me meet our daughter for the first time. I can't even think about it right now. I'm nervous, scared and so excited all at once. I have no idea what to expect. I hope she will adjust well.
She has been living with a foster family. We have photos of her YeYe (grandpa) and NaiNai (grandma) with her if you scroll down to her birthday party. Her update we got said she can say NaiNai so I'm sure she is attached to them. I'm sure it will be hard for her and hard for her to understand whats going on. I don't know if they've prepared her at all. My heart just breaks for her knowing she will have to go through that. I know it will all be worth it though we are so excited and happy for her to join our family. We feel she is already a part of our family. Our little six year old prays for her every night that she will sleep good and we will bring her home safely. How sweet is that!
