Ok, we realize that we weren't in Shanghai, but we are pretty sure we got a little taste of it. I had to keep reminding myself..."Kim, we came here by train not on a plane, and we can't take any of these babies home with us today". Lol! The Jing Fong restaurant was fantastic. The food and show truly brought us closer to Chinese culture. It is so much fun to learn about our daughter's birth country, and it certainly seems to help with the wait. This is the year of the pig, which by Chinese belief, signifies luck to babies born within it. Cheers, to my friends giving birth this year!
Our agency kindly sat us with other couples who are also patiently waiting for their daughters. One couple is just beginning the long wait, which is now approximately 2 years! It sure made our 16-18 month wait not seem so bad. One waiting mom was particularly kind to Tyler and Corey. She talked to them a lot about school and their soon to be baby sister. She really made them feel comfortable and included. Along with their big sis, Tiffany, they are going to be great siblings!
It was a wonderful day, in fact we are heading back next month with Rich's mom and dad. Mom is in need of renewing her green card. She remains a citizen of Ireland as most of her family still resides there. It is home to her and she will often visit for 2-3 months at a time. Well, it just so happens that Federal Plaza (location of green card renewal) is right next door to Chinatown. We are going to bring them to the Jing Fong. Can't wait! Speaking of not being able to wait, grandma and grandpa Davis are worse than us the during this waiting process. They want so much to hold their granddaughter. It will happen! It really will!
Tiffany and Jeremiah...we'll get you there too! So sorry you missed the first trip, but we promise there will a lot fun trips for you to join us and your baby sister.
