Amy and I arrived here in Beijing safely and are attempting to recover from flying for 16 hours, a very upset baby on the plane, three inches of leg room (for Amy anyway, Elizabeth's knees touched the seat in front of her) and more cultural changes than we could say. However, we got to begin our program with the 20 children today which warmed our hearts considerably. The children absolutely amaze us in every way - some descriptive adjectives would include creative, funny, precocious, intelligent, and very inquisitive. We will be sure to share details, photos, and videos once we are able to get them loaded.
One aspect of this trip that has become abundantly clear is the impact this will hopefully have for other older children in China. Meeting with officials from CCAA and the government has left us with the impression that this is a rare occurence, but an open door as well. We both pray this opportunity would pave the path for many children and families to be united.
We will post again on Monday...Sunday for you TX friends. Yes, we are 13 hours ahead of you. Our bodies are not, though :) We are off to bed, a Luna bar, and Chinese television...

It is wonderful to track yours and Amy's work in China. I know time is limited for entries and photos. We look forward to seeing video when you return.
Love, Mom (aka Sally)
