Great day in Guangzhou












We've had a great day today and God has really blessed. She had her required physical and behaved very well. We had one glitch with paperwork which gave me heart failure but the staff there was very nice and we pray it got ironed out. Our hotel is beautiful with an indoor waterfall and plenty of koi to look at. Jodi is fascinated with them. That is her and Baba at the top of the waterfall. We are right on the river which is really pretty. They have plenty of areas to walk along or just sit and enjoy.
Mom and I had fun shopping today and are amazed at the bargains. We got her some great shoes and a Chinese outfit. I know we're very biased but we think she looked absolutely beautiful! We also visited a great store whose profits support orphans. We had a wonderful Cantonese dinner with our Great Wall adoption group. We have now met 4 other families who adopted from other provinces and have enjoyed getting to know them.
We will be touring tomorrow and look forward to that! David and Donna, thank you for your incredibly kind message. We are glad you now have your daughter and well understand the challenges! We pray that all is well with you and feel that God definitely intended for us to meet! Take good care. To all of our other loved ones, we love and miss you. Can't wait to be home!!

  1. Hey Fred and Susan! We are so glad to see she is doing so well! We got our approval to travel to Vietnam on Friday and we will be leaving Saturday morning, April 4th for Hanoi. Can't wait to meet Jodie, and for AnnaSophia and her to become friends.
    Blessings, The Harris Family

  3. Hey, post the pic I took of them on nye nye's camera, of our kids on the bus! I want to put it on our blog. And perhaps on the slide show at the wedding
