My name is Abby, and I am 11 years old. This is my first trip back to China since I was adopted as a baby. I'm writing my own thoughts in a journal about what we see and do during our trip. My mom is typing what I write in my journal so I can share it with you here. The picture above is of Zhuzhou, Hunan!

Only two days until we leave for China!

When I woke up this morning, I said to my mom "It is only two more days until we go to China! I am so excited that we get to go!"

I am most excited to see where I was born. I was born in a city called Zhuzhou. I want to see the orphanage and what the city looks like. This is my first time back since I was adopted. I am so excited to see the kids at the orphanage and where they live.

The thing that I am not looking forward to is that mom told me that the toilets can be different than they are here. Hope they aren't yucky!

Mom asked me what I think Zhuzhou will look like. I think it is a big city, there is a lot of traffic, and a lot of people. It will be very different from where we live.

It takes a really long time to fly to China. Since I was so little when I came home when I was adopted, my mom said that I slept the whole way, but I don't remember that.

I can't wait to go for the first time. I am so excited!
