Karen and Emily (Sara's sister and niece) arrived from Ky. today. Other than Karen having a stress fracture in her foot, they seem to be doing well and very excited about joining us on our journey. Shea is excited about cousin Emmy being here because Emmy spoils her and reads to her all the time. When we decided to bring Shea to China with us (she's only 3), we knew we had to bring Emmy (14 ) along to help out.
All of our travel arrangements have been made for the flights, hotels and all the Beijing tours. The agency has a travel agent who does this for the families. There are a total of 7 families from Az. in our travel group plus a couple more from other places. All together there will be 10 babies in our group with 2 of them being twins adopted by one family. Two of the couples left today to start sightseeing for a week before Gotcha Day, we leave Tuesday to tour Beijing for a few days and I believe the rest of the group will be leaving Friday. I'm pretty sure Gotch Day will be Sunday, Mar. 25th.
All for now,
Sara

Sara, Jim and family....
I am so excited for you all! I will anxiously await updates to this beautiful site and wish you all safe travels. You are two very special people... Julia has no idea how big she has scored! Happy Trails... Kimberly Olson
Sara Jim and Family....Randy emailed your blog for the first time and I was thrilled to read all the experiences you have been having. My golly...you both are so very busy. I can relate very well. One thing I have learned over my six years with Randy and my relationship with the boys is that the Lord blesses you with Charity to love those that are not of your loins. We have a sacred stewardship to care for the little ones which I know you feel the same way. Julia and Shea are so blessed to have each other and the love of two wonderful parents.
Julie and Randy Gray
