Here is our itinerary:
2/5 Leave for China
2/6 Arrive in Beijing
2/7 Visit the Great Wall & the Forbidden City (we will have the final on this soon)
2/8 Leave for Nanchang
2/9 We finally meet Elena!!!
2/10 the Adoption becomes official!!
2/11 We visit her orphanage - I so can't wait to see where our little girl has spent the beginning of her life!
2/12 Visit the Temple of Tengwang Ge
2/13 Pick up Elena's passport
2/14 Leave for Guangzhou
2/15 Visit Guangzhou Xiangjiang Safari Zoo
2/16 Elena has her Medical visit and gets her Visa Photo
2/17 Visit The Six Banyan Temple

2/19 Go to the American Consulate for taking oath and to pick up Elena's Visa!
2/20 We leave for home!!!
Me & Murry are excited - Bob is getting a bit more nervous as the date gets closer!!
This is going to be the LONGEST I have EVER been away from Bobby & Chance - I think this will be the HARDEST part of the entire trip!! I know they will be fine - we have so many people that will help watch over them - its just ME missing them that will be HARD!! The good thing is - is we are going to try to stay in contact with them via Video - hopefully it will work!! And although Melissa isn't my daughter - I fell as though she might as well be - I will also miss talking to her - how is she going to be able to survive without me (just kidding) I know she will be fine as well - but 2 weeks is a VERY long time!!
Wow, what an experience this will be!! Our parents as well as the rest of our friends and family are EAGERLY awaiting the arrival of our little ELENA - and FINALLY we can say without a DOUBT when that will be!! Hopefully, I will be able to continue to blog while we are in CHINA so please stay tuned!!
Love to all and Thank you SO much for all of your support!!

Congratulations...she is a doll. I have a grandbaby from same orphanage and they didnt have the option to go to the orphanage, so i am so glad you all have that opportunity to go. I think it means a lot to have info and pics for the baby for later in life. I will keep your family in my prayers for safe travels and great bonding for little one. If allowed, take lots of pics of orphanage, you will be glad you did later. Have a wonderful time with your little bundle of joy, they are sooooo worth it!!
We are so happy for your guys! Thank you for sending me the blog! We can't wait for you to come back and let us know how it went! Then it is our turn! We will keep you in our prayers! God Bless!

Oooh YEA! Take LOTS of pictures while you're in Guixi. We will all be anxious to hear about it. Have you looked in to SKYPE to talk online too? Lots of families have used it while in China and it works like a charm. Have fun and enjoy the trip you will NEVER forget it. Safe travels from one Guixi momma to another! Susan in MT.
