A twelve hour flight… a missed connection….an unexpected night in Beijing without a guide….a crazy taxi ride through the crowded city….getting through the train station with 4 duffle bags, 3 back packs, and a tired 2 year old...2 economy seats in a completely full train with Lily on our lap for 8 hours was all worth it! In a couple of hours we will walk into the Civil Affairs office in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China to bring our 4 year old daughter home. We are beyond exhausted but so happy that this day is finally here. |

OMG Pam and John, what you have already gone through and still with a great attitude, my hat is off to you! I am so excited to see Anna meet her family and receive all your love and hugs and kisses. I am seriously stalking the site. I will be saying lots of prayers for a smooth transition for Anna, and Lily, and you grown ups too, and MUCH easier travelling. I wish you peace and joy in these next days. Love to each of you!

Well, at least the "hard part" is out of the way! Oh, the thought of the train station gives me the shivers.
Happy Joyous Wonderful Day!

Sounds like you have had a rough time of it... smooth sailing from here! Can't wait to see Miss Anna in your arms!
Give Ms. Tang a hug from Catherine!
So glad you are in Nanjing and awaiting Anna's arrival. We cannot wait to see pictures from your big day. Thinking of you and wishing you a wonderful week of transitions!
WOW!!!! It is finally here---the magical moment has arrived. So glad to be a part of it; even if it is just watching from the blog sidelines ;-)

We are so happy for you!!! I so remember running through an airport with Michelle to make our connecting flight. We were like ducks in a row. We can't wait to hear about Anna. We are sending you much love.
