This is where Miaya will be soon!

We walked into our room in the Majestic Hotel in Nanning, and there it was -- The Crib. Ordinarily not an imposing sight, but in this case a glimpse of things to come. It hit us both hard, tomorrow night this simple crib will be occupied by OUR daughter!

At 3:30 pm tomorrow June 30, we will be at the Ministry of Civil Affairs office where we will meet Miaya for the first time. She will arrive from the orphanage in Guiping (guay-peeng) where she has been living,in the company of three other girls, several nannies, and the orphanage director. Tuesday, we return to the office where we will file the papers to permanently adopt Miaya, after that, under Chinese law, she will then be ours forever.

I know until now there were days where time stood still. This is it my friends the moment you have waited a lifetime for. Take every second, minute, or hour and breath it all in. I am so happy for you. You are so deserving and will be great parents!!

Wow! What a trip back in time for us! Nearly two years ago, we stood in our room at the Majestic hotel and looked into that same crib!

I'm very excited for you and can't wait to see a baby in there!
