We did make it to Guangzhou safely after a 2 ½ flight from Lanzhou. Adam did well on his first plane trip, although he did not like being constrained by a seat belt. We got to Guangzhou and had to squeeze 10 people and luggage into two small vans. After about an hours drive, we made it to the hotel.
I could not post yesterday because although the room had internet, I had no cable to connect with. The hotel graciously supplied one this morning.
Today we had Adam’s visa pictures taken and his physical examination. We also filled out all the paperwork needed to apply for his visa and citizenship. On Tuesday we will get his visa and take the oath of citizenship for him. When he arrives on U.S. soil he will be a U.S. citizen.
Last night and today we enjoyed the hotel swimming pool. As you can see from the picture it’s kind of small, but passable . Adam loved the pool. I had a hard time convincing him it was time to leave. We also had lunch at a place called Lucy’s where we ate cheeseburgers and fries that were delicious. We ate there the last time we were in Guangzhou and knew it to be a great break from Chinese fair. We also did some shopping.
Today was also a reunion of our entire travel group. Our group consists of 5 families who got their kids from 4 different provinces. Four boys and 1 girl ranging from 2 to 7 in age. It was exciting to hear all the different stories and how God has worked during the past week.

Hi Mommy and Daddy and Jeremy and Adam, we think the pool looks big and lots of fun. We got wet yesterday too. We have big pumpkins to show you. We miss you.
See you soon. Kenzie and Kayla
Love the pictures and the memories. Our daughter was born in June of 2003 from Zhangye too. Hope you have wonderful time. We hope to get our referral soon too.

We are so enjoying reading your posts. Please let everyone know the Benches say hi and that we're praying for each of you!
It is so windy here today, the leaves have really fallen. We set our clocks back one hour. Enjoyed the girls last Sunday; they seem so happy and content. They both proudly showed the Sunday School pictures of their new brother. Thank you for sharing your lives and new addition with us. Mary
