Well, we made it through day one...visits to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and Summer Palace. Our first two days here are mostly touring. It has been fun and is giving us a chance to recover from jet lag before they hand us our son!!! There are 13 other families here in our travel group. We have really enjoyed getting to know them...some really neat families. All of them are adopting and have been in the long paperwork process just like us. So far there is no shortage of things to talk about with them and we are already looking forward to seeing them again in Guangzhou with their new children. Tomorrow we will attend the international church here in Beijing then go to visit the Great Wall.
Though the touring and making new friends has been fun, there is definitely a part of us that is restless. We are longing to be WITH JOSHUA! It still seems a bit surreal. At the same time, it feels very real. In two days we will be parents of 3 children instead of 2.
Excited and somewhat nervous,
Rusty and Lesli
