We made it to Beijing!

We arrived to our hotel around 1AM Beijing time on Saturday morning.  Praises: no canceled flights and a safe trip!  Our escort met us at the airport, and then took us to our hotel.  This morning we had our orientation meeting; we met another Holt family during this time. We were given updated information on Maren, including recent photos. Following the orientation, the staff took us on a guided tour of Tienneman Square and the Forbidden City. This outing gave us some ideas of how the culture is different.

Tomorrow morning we meet out guide after breakfast and leave for the airport.  We fly out of Beijing to Changchun City at 11:25 am Beijing time to head to Maren's city and province (requirement of Chinese adoption law).  Thank you for your continued prayer and support.
