We have arrived in China safely and are so happy to be here. It was such a surreal moment when Douglas reminded me that we are finally in the same city as our daughter. All of this planning and paperwork comes together so soon.
The city, Wuhan, is the capital of Hubei province. It is a city of 10 million people and none of them look like us. People seem very intrigued by my blonde hair and Douglas' height. They literally have pointed and stared, but I can only imagine what people feel like when they are the minority in a place permanently. The city is full of smog, but otherwise very clean. The Chinese people take great pride in keeping everything swept up and put away. Above is a picture from one of the pedestrian bridges we walked across. The best news is that we have found a Starbucks where the worker speaks English. Just a little comfort of home that I appreciate.
We are trying to prepare ourselves for the magic that occurs tomorrow. There isn't anything in life that can prepare you for that moment, much less help you imagine what is to come. We are so excited and promise to post the exciting pics as soon as we have her.
