... we fly out of Newark on a direct flight to Beijing, the first leg of our trip to China to meet, greet and bring Sadie home. It has been an extremely long journey already. A lot of time has passed and many hurdles have been cleared to get where we are now. Last night we had our "travel meeting" at the agency, Spence-Chapin in NYC, where we learned our itinerary, filled out our visa applications and received our plane tickets. It was the meeting we've been hearing about for over two years and never thought we'd ever get to attend. But we did. And now it's just a matter of squaring things up at our jobs and doing the final packing.
I started this blog a couple of times already over the last two years but it was hard to keep up because there was really nothing much happening once all the paperwork was finished. There wasn't enough activity to keep up an interesting blog. However now that we are two weeks out I think it's time to start recording the experience. I'll try to include as much of the overall experience as well. Like our first visit to Spence to learn about their programs and how excited we were after that meeting. It was a long time ago but I can remember it so well it seems like it happened last week.

she is so cute and tell her her Auntie Tere said so
We are so excited for you guys. Sadie is a lucky little girl.Max has always been interested in China, (remember his chinese character writing phase at age 6 and fascination with dragons) so he is especially interested in meeting his new cousin. We'll plan on a visit when you return (and recover.)
