Updates of the last few days in China





Sorry, I did not have a chance to update in China- so I will recap the last few days. We had an amazing time the last few days there. Zoe is a vey sweet baby and laughs a lot, of course her sister keeps her easily amused. We went to a Buddhist temple and had the babies blessed- it was a very moving experience. We also were able to see some of the other ceremonies that were taking place. We then went down to Guangzhou to finish the last of the paperwork and get Zoe's visa to travel home. We stayed in the White Swan- I did a lot shopping and went to the pearl and Jade market. The girls liked the pool and Zoe looks like she wants to start swimming. We went on a dinner cruise one night in Guangzhou- that was a lot of fun.

On a side note, I was lucky enough to find out that Zoe was in foster care for four months. We are very grateful for the care she was given. She is very healthy ( at least she looks it) and happy. Somebody was very good to her and that means the world to us. I wish we were able to have contact with her foster family but that is not possible.
Here are some of the last pics in China!!! Thanks again to everyone for their well wishes!!! Looking forward to seeing everone soon!!

I saw the red couch photo on Amy & Darrin's site and have to say it again - there are one too many smiles for that to be a proper "Red Couch Photo". The girls are just beautiful!
