Tomorrow is Gotcha Day

Here it is. We've almost arrived at the moment we've been waiting for. Tomorrow is Gotcha Day. Tomorrow they place Daniel in our arms, and he'll be ours forever. Our family will be one family member richer. How did we get here? Wow. We started the process two years ago. We waited. We trusted God. And here we are. Yes, this is happening tomorrow and our hearts feel fuller every minute closer we get to meeting him.

This morning is our 3-hour orientation meeting with Holt. We found out there will be 63 attendees, so our group is larger than we thought! We were told that some of us will receive updates on our children and sadly, some of us will not. We hope to be amongst the lucky so we can see how our little guy is doing. After our meeting we are going to Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden City for touring. We have decided to hit Beijing's Irish Pub tonight. These guys want a t-shirt! Our flight leaves tomorrow morning. I will try to post again this evening depending on our timing.
