Ken and I are sitting at our hotel business office, on the internet waiting for the time we "get the call" that Jake is on the way.
We have met the 3 other couples who are adopting. 2 of the 3 this is also their first child. The other couple has a 3 year old girl as well. All of our children are from 15-30 months old and all are boys except one. All of cleft lip/palate except one.
Everyone in China has been so nice, the funny thing is they all know why we are here. It is very obvious as the American couples all with big grins on their faces walking around in a daze. Some of the couples have been here for a day or so and have stayed at the "white swan" already. They say it was great to see all of the children holding onto their parents and laughing.
Jake actually will get delivered right to our room. So we have it all set up with toys and books and food. They say the children really scarf down the food, which is really good.
We are thinking he'll come later this afternoon.
Ken and I were up at 4am this morning, which is 4pm for most of you and it feels like Christmas, you have that anticipating feeling in your stomach and that lump in your throat that something exciting is about to happen.
We will be videotaping now as he is coming to our room, it may feel a bit safer for him and we want for him to see it later on!
The next time I write, he'll probably be in our arms!
