MAY TRAVEL

WOW! Good news, we have a tenative date for travel, May 4, 2007 return May 18th Yaaaahooooo!!!!!.

We will fly from Newark to Beijing then to Hunan Province, be united with Angelina and then fly to Guangzhou for final paperwork, then we fly back to Beijing and then home to Newark. We'll get the details on April 20th, when we have our travel meeting at our agency.

It feels very sureal. I have been dreaming about this forever and now it's finally here! Our journey has been filled with joys and sorrows while we were waiting for our Little Angel. We moved into a new home in April of 2006, Bill and my brother Steven turned 40 in July 2006 and my mom passed on in July 2006. My son Christopher 14 had a massive growth spurt and towers over his mama! Christopher is very excited about his new baby sister. He keeps looking for her when we mention her name.

Our journey has been supported by so many wonderful friends, family and yahoo groups. Along this journey we have made awesome new friends and I can't wait to have playdates!! Thank you everyone for being there for us. We truly appreciate and value your support and friendship.

Here are some facts about Hunan Province, most likely we will be in the capital city of Changsha when we meet Angelina for the first time.

Located in the south central part of the Chinese mainland, Hunan has long been known for its natural beauty. Hunan is surrounded by mountains on the east, west, and south, and by the Yangtze River on the north. Hunan's mixture of mountains and water makes it among the most beautiful provinces in China. For thousands of years, Hunan has been a major center of Chinese agriculture, growing rice, tea, and oranges.
