Hello Everyone!
This is Becky...
We flew into the province of Nanjing today where we will be meeting our
little Lyla tomorrow morning at 10:00 at the Civil Affairs office! What an
exciting time!
I love Nanjing. It is a wonderful place! Our hotel is a 5 star hotel right
in the center of a bunch of neat Chinese shops. We went to a grocery store
around the corner and it was clean, neat, and had a bunch of Chinese foods
in it. I wish my mom were here, she would love it! There is a Chinese
Dumpling place, restaurants, shops, and street vendors all around. It is
all clean and neat and within walking distance of our hotel! I LOVE IT
HERE!! What a change compared to the crowds in Beijing!
We found out today that we will get the opportunity to see the orphanage
where Lyla was! It must be a very nice facility because they normally do
not allow the parents to see the orphanages. We have been blessed! She had
a great home! We also will get the opportunity to meet her friends and
nannies when we go. We just bought a bunch of Chinese cookies to take with
us for a treat for the kids.
One other family (out of 19 families that we have met through our
organization) we are with has a baby in the same orphanage and we thought
they might be friends. The babies are the same age and after comparing
pictures, they must have been taken on the same day because they are in the
same poses in the same background with the same people. We thought it would
be neat if they were little playmates.
We only get to stay here for 4 days. There are a few meetings tomorrow and
the next few days before we leave for Guangzhou for 7 days where everything
becomes finalized and we get a Visa for her from the US Consulate to go back
home with us.
We are nervous about tomorrow, so please pray for us!
Love always,
Paul and Becky
