In Harbin...less than 24 hours now!!

It is 4:00pm in Harbin City, China on Sunday afternoon. We arrived at the airport around 1:30pm, and were greeted by our guide for the week...Teresa. She is so sweet and very helpful! Teresa is a graduate student at a university here in Harbin. She works part time as a guide for the adoption center. We got in the van with Teresa and our driver for the week, and traveled about 40 minutes to our hotel. The hotel we are staying in this week is very nice , and is located in the heart of Harbin's downtown area. There is a river across the street from the hotel. It is frozen solid! People are outside standing on the frozen river flying kites!! It is cold, but not unbearable. There is a Walmart very close to our hotel. We are about to get out for a little while and explore our new surroundings:) Teresa will be back in the morning at 8:45 to take us to the adoption center to meet Betsy! She said it will take us about 30 minutes to get there. I can't believe that in less than 24 hours we will have Betsy with us forever! When we landed at the Harbin airport and I saw the word Harbin tears filled my eyes. It is such an indescribable moment! I know those of you reading this that have been where I am at this time can totally understand. I am so thankful and very humbled that God has chosen us to be her parents. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and comments! Till tomorrow...:)
