I can't express how exciting it is to be here - in The White Swan Hotel. All of the American families who adopted from various provinces must come to Guangzhou for the final paper work. Most of them have had almost a week with their little one, so we get to see the joyful side of the adoption. The kids are super cute and smiling all over the place.... I'm so excited to see these miracles. My heart is overflowing each time I see all the very different families loving on their new little one. We have made several friends... the common factor, Cheerios!!! Oh, and each adopting hotel room comes with a "going home Barbie." It's a white Barbie carrying an Asian baby... a little stereotypical, but fun for the babies.
Wei-J loves his new family! Especially his Shu Shu who has to watch every little trick that Baby does! It really allows me to see Hubs as a father... he is going to make a great one!
I finally have a moment to share a few more pictures. In this series of pictures, Wei J is opening up to me for the first time. Shu Shu and I entertained Baby J, while his mommy updated her blog. (http://www.tianjintreasure.blogspot.com/). I look confused is the first picture because not only is this the first time he approached me on his own, but he jumped right ahead to pulling the buttons on my rear pockets. As the afternoon progressed, we created a game I call, "footsies." It's when two people rub their feet against the bed as fast as they can, and then laugh laugh laugh. This is how the game looks from my perspective.
Tomorrow Wei-J gets his physical and Visa photo. It should be a quick experience... hopefully!
Morgan and I bough "Shu Shu" and "Ay-i" T-shirts today! Now we can proudly announce that we have a nephew. I've been blogging for a while, but haven't been able to talk to you all individually. If anyone has a specific question, maybe I can blog about it and share with the whole group. Just let me know in email or comments.
Miss my family! Sweet K - hope your days are going ok.
St. A - I miss you guys so much... I keep dreaming about all the kids and co-workers.
Georgie, miss you, and your comment went through ; )

Adorable auntie & uncle bonding stories - yay!....I really like the picture you guys put at the top of your page. (c: Today I saw a couple pic-nicking at the park with a little Marty-look-alike...we saw them from the back and had to remind ourselves that it couldn't be you guys because you're in CHINA! Wow.
Well, now you've had a lesson in it doesn't have to be fancy for our little ones to be entertained, especially if you do it with a heart full of love. The pictures are wonderful, can't wait to see all of you in person. I miss you!! Hug that sweet baby and Meriah!! Have a great week and remember we love you all.
I went to give a peek at your blog!
