Robin Reif - December 22, 2012
"Leaving
tomorrow. Both of us excited and wondering what awaits us on the other side of
the world. For Sophie, it’s about seeing the land that’s lived so long in her
imagination and in memories she feels more than actually recalls.
For me, it’s the anticipated pleasure of seeing my daughter discover her
homeland in all its strangeness, beauty and complexity.
Sophie can’t
wait to see how it feels to be among all Chinese people. "Aside from my adopted
friends," she says, "I’ve always been surrounded by white
people."
As for the
rest, Gongzhan told us it will be very cold in Beijing when we’re out climbing
the Great Wall so we buy Sophie a hat. (see photo) Happy girl."
