We woke up very early this morning a round 4:30 AM. We quickly got our showers and walked down to breakfast. The buffet seems to be much better here. There are plenty of fruits and vegetables on the buffet as well as omelettes and all kinds of Oriental food. After breakfast, the families headed to the bus for our forever kiddos. The 30 minute bus ride seemed to take two hours! We anxiously await for beautiful, handsome son. As soon as we arrived at the office, and stepped in the door, I automatically spotted Jayden Shuai!! He looked directly at me and continued to stare at me the entire time. It was pretty obvious that the orphanage had at least shared our pictures with Jayden. We were the second ones in line to receive Jayden! It was incredibly hard to stand there quietly and wait for our turn, just knowing that our sun was 20 feet away. Finally, it was our turn! The orphanage worker and director brought Jayden over to us. He immediately started to cry. Joel delicately reached down and pick him up. Joel hugged and kissed Jayden, then gave him to me. Jayden was crying rather profusely through out this encounter. We sat down on a nearby couch with Jayden and after a while, he began to relax a bit. Once everyone had their children, we were ready to go back to the hotel. It was a long, trying day for everyone.
Once we got back to the hotel, we walked down to Walmart in order to get more diaper supplies and other essential products. The Walmarts in China are always an interesting place to go. It is very odd to see dead animals hanging up.
Jayden ate minimally today which is very expected. Overall, I think he is doing exceptionally well. All three of us are exhausted and ready to go back to the hotel and get some rest. It was such an amazing day and we are so very thankful that we have such a sweet little guy! He is just amazing. 😘
