Our bags are packed, we're ready to go....Leaving on a jet plane...

Just a few more days to go! We leave early on Monday, July 6 on United. I have packed and repacked our bags several times, trying different suitcases. In the end, we are going with the smaller ones to keep our weight down.

We take two of the pets to be boarded at the vet tomorrow and the third goes to a different kennel on Sunday. We have an elderly cat and dog who require medication so they will be in good hands with our vet staff.

Where is Nanchang?

In the map below, Nanchang is not identified. Look for Shanghai on the east coast, then work your way left until you find Wuhan. Nanchang would be a little below Wuhan and very slightly east.

Early photo of Alana


This is a picture that was sent to me after Alana joined our family. She was 4 1/2 or 5 and was living with a foster family that she has fond memories of. An adoptive parent was visiting this family because her child had been a previous foster child there.
