Orientation, The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, The Silk Factory

Today was a busy day!!
This morning we had orientation.  There are about 20 other families adopting right now too.  We were told lots & lots of information.  Some general China-info & then some updates on our children!!!  They gave us some new pictures & gave us more details about Jyla's daily routine etc.  Her favorite foods are rice, bread, congee (like porridge) & apples. 
She is independent, likes taking walks, & her toy phone. 
It was a bit emotional to get the updates & pictures & to know that in 2 days we will meet her!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
It was fun to interact with the other families during this time....hearing about the children that they are adopting etc.
After that we had lunch & then did some "tourist things". 
The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square & a Silk Factory where we got cute little silk kimonos for Jyla & Ads!  (can't wait to wear them on them.)
 
Thank you for your prayers!  This is an experience of a lifetime!!
Tomorrow morning we are flying to Gaungzhou where Jyla is!!  Please pray for our flight & for everything to go smoothly in the airports.
