Adoption Update
Today we got our tentative itinerary for China. We arrive in China, get essentially one day of rest and getting used to being in China and then the craziness hits. We tour the orphanage and get Zachary on our third day in country. After that, the days are filled with a variety of activities, including a tour of the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City, a trip to the Beijing Zoo, and various shopping excursions. These jaunts are intermingled with pitstops for various paperwork matters, medical checks, and the like.

We bid adieu to Beijing after two weeks and then fly to Guangzhou and lather, rinse, and repeat, this time for the US Consulate. After a few days in Guangzhou, we fly out to Tokyo (we hope!) and then on to Minneapolis, where, Presto-Change-o! Zach becomes an American. Then back home to Atlanta and a whole different life.

We are so excited and can't wait to pull out our suitcases and start packing! There's a lot to think about and a few more bits and pieces that we need to gather before we leave. We can't wait to meet our son!!!
