Exit Interview scheduled

We have our exit interview scheduled for Tuesday June 3rd in Guangzhou. That means we can start planning the rest of our trip. We need to be in Hangzhou by Saturday May 24th so we can be at our hotel on Sunday when they will might be bringing George to meet us and start living with us as his parents. Hopefully our first meeting will go well but as I know from working with Children during my Career as a Specialized Foster Parent it is too much pressure on children that are stressed out from big changes in their routines to expect that it will go like clockwork so Jim and I prepared for whatever happens. George may be happy to see us. He may be mad that we are taking him away from his friends and favorite staff. He might be scared that we will mistreat him or that his new brothers and sisters won't like him or it all might go just fine. We would appreciate all prayers that whatever happens Jim and I will be able to handle it as well as possible in the circumstances. As with any of our other kids whether biological or adopted there are no guarentees that things will be smooth or easy and we are planning on that same attitude with George so I know we will take it one day at a time with the goal of being a happy family sometime in the future.
