Where in the world are tim and mm?


Tell me you all had parents or teachers that encouraged you to play the game, "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" I know I might have just misspelled that name, but in spite of that, some of you are smiling right now b/c you used to play that game too.

Here's where we will be. We will fly into Beijing, arriving on the 2nd. We'll stay there until the 4th when we fly to the Zhejiang provincial city of Hangzhou. The 5th will be our "gotcha day" - the day we adopt Lily! On the sixth, we'll travel by train (about 4 hours) to Lily's city of Wenzhou (also in Zhejiang Province), see the orphanage, hopefully go to lunch with the director, and I guess see a little of her city. Then we go back to Hangzhou until the 10th. On the 10th we fly to Guangzhou, Guandong for one week. This is where we will have her medical evaluation and wait on her passport among other things. I believe we will have some down time here too. It's interesting to note that ALL Chinese adoptions end in Guangzhou, so parts of this city are catered to adopting families. We are told to eat at Lucy's - a western style diner. On the 16th we'll travel to Hong Kong and then on the 18th, It's home sweet home.

  2. I am so excited for you guys - will be praying for your trip and sweet Lily. Praying that God will overwhelm you with His goodness, provide travel mercies and prepare Lily's sweet spirit for such a big change. And of course, I am hoping you are able to visit the CWI and see our sweet boy to tell him his mom and dad are coming soon.
    Blessings!
