We're Back...
WOW - China is amazing and our son is just perfect in every way. With our three week stay in China we were able to see some of the most amazing places that you could ever imagine. We got to see the Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Open Air Markets, Hutongs, spectacular parks and squares, The Great Wall, and so much more!
Getting our hands on Will didn't happen quite like we imagined, but how wasn't the important part, getting him in our arms was. We knew that meeting him at BWCI was not an option with H1N1 and had been told we would meet them in a conference room at our hotel.
Well all the kids in our group (four, including Will) were considered special needs so we got a call to meet them in the hotel's parking lot. Two nannies, a driver, four kids (from 22 mo to 7 years) and medical equipment all piled out of a small car (like an Accord). They looked at us, handed us our little ones, turned around, got back in the car and left us with our sweet kiddos standing right there in the Poly Plaza parking lot. Not the emotion filled hand off that I always envisioned, but the perfect moment for us.
Pictures and more updates to follow over the next few days as we settle back in and get readjusted back to our time zone.
