Tomorrow afternoon we board the plane that will take us to our newest son. Tonight we will stay at a hotel near the airport to avoid any possible delays heading to Newark during morning rush hour.(No NJ Turnpike jokes - and in case you're wondering we are way south, closest to exit #2, just to get that out of the way)
We are anxious to get to Will but are finding it a bit difficult to kiss the kids good night and put them to bed knowing we won't see them for three full weeks. We know they will be fine, they are with my parents. It's just that this will be the first time we are both away from them at the same time (with the exception of one night while we attended GWCA East Meets West Conf where we first saw our Will) for any length of time and three weeks seems so long.
We were able to get Skype accounts set up on both our lap top and my mom's computer (thanks Satyra) so we will be able to see each other almost daily but not to get hugs and kisses will be miserable. We know it won't last forever, but will just feel like it.
This is a joyous time and we are going into this trip as a once in a lifetime event and will soak in as much of Will's culture to bring home with us and make it part of our family.
We'll see you all very soon and hope to be able to add to the blog to keep everyone up to date and involved (we have heard that we may not be able to access the blog from China, but will try)
Thanks to all for their support, encouragement, help, congratulations, etc. It means the world to us and we're glad to have you on our journey with us and are happy to share our joy with you all.

I am so excited for you! I also found our son on MAAWC! We are with the same agency as you are as well.
ReplyDeleteI know you are as grateful as we are for being allowed to be on that groups site to find our children.
I sure hope you are able to blog while you are there. I have a friend that is there and said it is being blocked.
We are hoping to get our TA soon! Working on our Visas right now.
Come over and visit our blog before you go if you can. You can see our son there.
