Journey WITH Charissa

Tuesday, June 07, 2005

Started yesterday to do a countdown, but tech troubles got in the way; besides...

I think this just about says it all:


Dear Families,
The time is almost here! The waiting is finally coming to an end. We would like to wish you all a safe trip. This will be a journey unlike any other you have taken. There will be many documents, meetings, and appointments to keep. But there will also be a little one waiting for you. Try to remember that all the steps you have taken until this point will not matter once you finally get to hold your new child in your arms. Don't let all you 'have to do' get in the way of your enjoying every single minute of your time in China. Try to soak up as much as you can so you will many wonderful stories to tell your daughters in the years to come. We look forward to meeting the newest members of your family and would love any email updates or photos while you are in China. Remember to breathe!!* (*Emphasis mine, especially considering I'm crying right now for no apparent reason; I think it's because I AM trying to breathe and everything has to come out some other way.)

Just a couple of reminders:
*44 pounds is 44 pounds, please don't make the groups (sic) luggage overweight
*check with the airport to know how early you should be at the airport
*Lillian will try her best to be in touch with everyone while you are in China
*we will send a return from China package shortly after you return-don't worry about anything other than getting to know your child and create a relationship with her.

Have a wonderful time!!!
Melanie
