TRAVEL DATE CONFIRMED

On Thursday, Jan 8th, we received our travel dates from China to pick up Aleigha!! We're leaving from O'Hare on Thursday, Feb 12th. We will in China until Thursday, Feb 26th. We'll be in three different provinces while we are in China. We fly into Beijing and stay a few days. Then we get on another plane to go to the province where Aleigha lives. We stay there about 5 days and then we fly to Guanzhou where our Embassy appt is and where we fly out of.
We will pick up Aleigha the 2nd day we are in her province. The babies are delivered to the hotel that we stay in by some of the orphanage workers. Then the following day, we may have a chance to visit her orphanage. It's up to each individual orphanage if they allow or not. I hope we do because I'd really like to have pictures for her when she gets older.
I've never been anywhere for 2 full weeks and without Grayson for 2 full weeks!!! Our parents will be taking turns staying with Grayson at our house so his routine will not be disrupted. He's very good with staying with grandparents so I don't think he'll mind. I'm sure he'll be super spoiled by the time we get home with Aleigha!! :)
