Journey To China

Travel with us as we journey to China to meet and bring home Margaret Virginia Mei (Maggie) and Mary Henley Yi (Mary Henley). We will document our travel via this blog site...we hope you enjoy keeping up with the Seven Sims!

Mark 9:36 - He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little ones in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."

Happy New Year from Shanghai!!!

Meritt and I have arrived in Shanghai where it is 4pm on Monday afternoon (3am in ATL).  Flight was actually very good...Meritt was heavily medicated which probably added to the pleasure of the flight.  We are currently waiting to board a short flight to Hefei...which unfortunately does not leave until 9pm Shanghai time.

We had a great send off this morning as Marshall and Rachel carried us to the airport, and despite having two of our four bags weigh in at 65 pounds each (a fact that should have cost us $140 for oversized bags), a very nice lady named Joanne waived all of our fees after she found out we were heading to China to adopt two little girls.  She was very nice!

If all goes as currently planned we will meet Mary Henley tomorrow...more to come!
