We leave in 3 days! Daddy and I were talking this morning about what a long journey this has been--to think we started the process to adopt you before you were even born! The bags are mostly packed and for some reason your suitcase is the heaviest--I think because we have so many things we want to give you and so many clothes we want to dress you up in! I keep wondering what it will be like to meet you for the first time--if you'll be sad or scared--and how we'll help you to know that we love you and have loved you for a very long time. I made flashcards with soothing Chinese phrases on them to study on the plane so I can do my best to calm you down in your own language. I can't believe in a few days we'll be in the air on our way to you!
Love,
Mommy
Welcome to the fam, Charlotte! In the inimitable words of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, "You have chosen... wisely." Can't wait to meet you! Love, Clare
