It is really happening! Sounds like you will be busy but still have some time to shop on your own. So glad you will be going to Saidie's Orphanage. I know you really want to see it. Praying for all of you!

So glad you posted your itinerary! Now we know what days to pray for what. We will be praying for everyone to travel well, to stay healthy and for a sweet uniting with Sadie. Enjoy the sights and sounds and history of Beijing. The Forbidden City is ji-normous, so wear comfy shoes.:)
Blessings to you all!

Sounds like full days and events. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Will look forward to meeting your little girl through this site...Blessings!
I am so glad you can visit the orphanage! Wow, your time is finally here, I will be praying for you throughout your trip and these new adjustments.
Enjoy every moment!
So excited for you all! We'll be following your journey. If you have any trouble accessing Blogger in China, you could try travelpod.com where Drew posted last summer from Beijing! Beverly will be staying with us from Dec 14-Jan 2. Funny that she will be here in Tremont and you will be in China! Safe and speedy travels.
What a gift it is for you to be able to visit Sadie's orphanage. We were able to go to Ava's and pick her up from there. As difficult as it was to see it, it was something that we were able to experience from the life she had before joining ours and something we are able to share with her first hand.
