Off to Guangzhou

We leave this afternoon to travel to Guangzhou and the famous White Swan Hotel. This hotel is known as the "baby hotel" locally and there are normally around 50 foreign adoptive families there at any given time. We will receive Hadley's passport late today and then be on our way.

Next on the agenda is our appointment with the U.S. Consulate which occurs on the 18th. While we wait, Hadley will have a required Dr's exam and then we will join other families currently in China with Lifeline and do some group touring and shopping. Our next post will probably come a bit late, since we will be in transition most of today. Thanks so much for all the encouraging messages.

Your blog is such a highlight of my day! I have added a blurb about it on my blog while I am in Africa and I have had many friends email me to tell me that they are really touched by reading about your journey. I know that this step of faith will lead to many others to consider such a beautiful way to add to their family. I am blessed to you know you both.
