Day 22/35

We cannot stop thinking of our little one. We can't believe we will know who she is so soon!

When you travel to China to pick up your daughter, everyone ends their trip in Guangzhou. You usually stay there about a week going to appointments, to court, and to get your child's medical exam. The White Swann Hotel has been the hotel everyone has stayed at for years, since adoptions opened in the 90s. This is the hotel that has the famous red velvet couch that everyone puts their babies on for group photo shots. This is the hotel where you get the "Barbie who adopts from China." This is the hotel where there is a huge playroom Mattel sponsored for all the adoptive families and their babies. This year they are starting major renovations and I just learned our agency isn't having us stay there during the renovations. We are staying at the brand new Westin instead. I was bummed at first but after looking at the website and knowing everything will be brand new with non-smoking rooms and AC that works, I am getting really excited about staying there. August can't come soon enough...
