This and That

Sofie Hongyan's room is just about finished!  I've sort of been pacing myself since we have plenty of time.

We have a chair picked out for this corner between the bed and bookcase...so her Dad can read to her each night:

Just need one more photo up and the family tree wall is done:

I bought a light exactly like this, but that hangs from the ceiling...just need to find time to install it:

On another note, we got the official itinerary for our trip.  We will stay here in Beijing.  So far, there will be 15 other Great Wall families there with us!!!

Then, this lovely place in Hohhot.  We are quite happy about the indoor pool and red wine and cigar lounge!   As of right now, we are the only family from our agency traveling to Hohhot.

And finally, the historic White Swan in Guangzhou.   There will be lots of other families there, including some Mom's I have met throughout this process.  Sofie Hongyan will have lots of new friends to play with!

But the best part is we found out we will meet Sofie Hongyan at 3pm on the 28th!  We were originally told March 1st would be our Family Day (or what is referred to as Gotcha Day), so are excited to meet her a day early!

  1. Will she be able to travel with you or will you go back for her?

  2. Mom - from the moment we meet her on the 28th, she will remain our custody. We will complete the adoption in China on 3/1 and she will travel around with us in China and Hong Kong, then become a U.S. citizen when we enter immigration at DFW airport in Dallas on 3/13. :)
