Dear TJ,
It is very late Monday night -– actually very early Tuesday morning – here. In China it is already Tuesday afternoon, and you have probably already had your lunch.
I am up late arranging for our hotel rooms on our way home to the United States with you. We will stop in Hong Kong, a very exciting place, for three nights before we get on the airplane to come home.
Our whole forever family – you, your two sisters, your father and me and Yuanfang, your babysitter – will all take the train together from China to Hong Kong. While we are there we will go for a boat ride; we may also spend a day at Disneyland if everyone is in the mood. We’ll walk through the markets, see the ocean and go swimming in the hotel pool. It will be a little vacation before we bring you to your new home in New Jersey, a log but exciting plane ride up high over the clouds.
We are all so excited about meeting you. Your youngest sister kisses your picture on my computer and tells you that she misses you. We have a lot of love we have been saving up in the months we have been waiting to bring you home.
In two days we get on the plane to come and meet you! We are getting your room ready for you. Right now it’s painted a dark purple, but you and Dad might decide you want to liven that up with some stripes or even paint over it in a new color. On the bed is a sleeping bag/bedspread that is white with silver stars. Your initials, ZTW (for Zane Tianjun Winston) are there, in black letters. Will we call you TJ? Or Tianjun? Or Zane? Or just our superhero?
That will be up to you!
OK, dude. We are counting the hours until we see you and trying to learn a little Mandarin to help us to communicate with you. Whatever you need or want, please ask Daddy or me. We are here to help you and take care of you.
Love from your forever family
