We Made it to Zhengzhou

Ok, it is 8:15pm here and all is good. Our flight was fine, George saw us off and took great care of us. Yisha met us at the airport when we landed. Then we got checked into the hotel! So very very nice! We had pizza for lunch/dinner! It was SOOOOOOO good! I think I can survive now! Let me backup, Yisha gave us an update on our babies and when she handed us our sheet she said"you are so lucky to be getting this little girl, I have seen her since she was a baby and she is wonderful", well our course I was crying, I wanted to hear more. So after we read our sheet on her and we both cried, then Yisha told us that a family from Shanghi wanted to adopt her but the wife was only 28 and so they couldn't have her! My heart melted! Then her paperwork also said that her foster brother ask her if she would remember him because he has changed her diapers! That made me sad for him and for her, but I know she is getting 2 great brothers and a great sister so she is going to be soooo loved! So after we ate the guys went with Yisha to the bank to exchange money and then when they returned several families went to wal mart! First it was like playing Frogger crossing the roads and walking on the sidewalks. Bicycles and scooters are everywhere! You literally have to dodge them or they will run over you! But we made there, then as we got ready to check out they tell us no credit cards, debit cards or US money! Fortunately one family had enough RMB to share so that we could all get our goods! And you have to buy a plastic bag and bag your own things! Crazy, huh! And the guy was a jerk! But anyway , not going to let him spoil our day. Three families got their babies today, I have seen two of them and they are precious! They are both doing really well. The other baby is having a hard time, but her foster family brought her so it was hard for her. We think Emery has been back in the orphanage for about 2 weeks. I can't believe we will finally get her in the morning! We leave the hotel at 9:30 in the morning to get Emery! Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. We could not have made it without them! Please pray extra hard that she adjusts well tomorrow and that she isn't too sad! I'm not sure I will sable to sleep tonight, it feels just like the night before I delivered Conner and Allie! We are so excited and can't wait to meet her! I know you all will be anxious to see her too and I promise I will update as soon as I get a chance! Kids if I'm not where I can Skype, I will call you all! So if you are going to be out send me an email and let me know where to call! I love and miss you all!
