Gotcha Day is Tomorrow

---

Got a question and answer sheet today. Lots of really good information. I am including the text from it below. Be advised that translating Mandrin to English is sometimes awkward.

It is an emotional day as I prepare to meet Kaixin for the first time. One of our tour guides, Rita, looks like I picture Kaixin will look when she is older. I could not look at her without tearing up. It was really tough, I have not yet met Kaixin, but my mind is looking into the future for her as if we have known each other for 25 years. I am deeply humbled by the idea of being able to give my love to this precious gift. She will be loved by our family and will teach us so much as we seek to guide her through life. I am not sure that I will sleep tonight, but I need to try. I have been rising at 4:30am each morning. I wake up and am tired, but my mind will not let me fall back to sleep.

Here is the text to the Q&A sheet:
