Well, I am just not good at keeping our blog updated through the adoption process. Our family is soooo busy all the time that finding a minute to update is nearly impossible. There are always long waits and not much to report at times so I just push it off thinking I will make time another day. Well that day has finally come! We are in the final wait to meet our daughter. We have received travel approval from China and leave in just TWO DAYS!!! The house is being prepped for our return and all of the many bags are being packed, checked, and rechecked for weight limitations and needed items. Amazon should be delivering the last few things I need today, nothing like last minute, but there are always things I forget so I am thankful for Prime!!! I have been to the store more times than I would like to admit in the last week and I DO NOT want to go back for a long time. :) I am not a shopper, unless it involves the Goodwill or Garage Sales, so it was torture hunting for all the things we needed to take and wanted to pick up for the other kids in the orphanage that are still waiting to find their Forever Families. Here is the status of my hallway:
We will be the massive crazy family with lots of luggage trying to navigate the airport in a foreign country. I tried to narrow everything down to three suitcases, but I don't know what I was thinking since I had to rush out Saturday and pick up another suitcase putting us up to 5 checked bags in total. Trying to stuff a family of 7 into 3 suitcases was just impossible when 4 of them have medical special needs and 2 are in diapers!
Sammy and Sera will be Vlogging our entire trip and taking lots of photos so as long as we have internet, we are going to do our best to keep you posted on a daily basis of all the adventures we are having.
Our GOTCHA DAY is set for March 20th in the afternoon (not sure on time yet which is Sunday the 19th here in the states as China is one day ahead. After just over 10 months and loads of paperwork and bumps in the road, we will finally have our sweet little girl in our arms!
