Today we pack up and leave Nanchang. Our destination is Guangzhou, Guangdong. Guangzhou is the location of the American Consulate in China where we will finalize all our paperwork for departing China. Ming will travel on a Chinese passport and a Chinese visa, but she will be given the right papers to immigrate into the US as a citizen of America. Our temporary home in Guangzhou is the White Swan Hotel where we are likely to meet numerous other families who have adopted from China and are waiting to depart for home in the United States. We're all ready for a change of venue. Hopefully a room that is a little bigger for the 4 of us. :-)
Ming is always such a cutie when she awakes from a nap or a night's sleep. Because she is so used to waking up and entertaining herself in her orphanage crib, she's not (yet, I suppose) one of those babies that starts fussing the minute she wakes up. Ming is fun to spy on when she wakes up...she rubs her eyes, scratches her ears, and tugs on her hair. Yesterday when she awoke from her nap (left picture) she was biting on the bed sheet and playing with her quilt.
Levi is a regular old pro. He's the one who can really get Ming smiling. That's one of the great things about Levi - he can put a smile an anybody's face.
It's been a real blessing to receive the many different comments on our blog from our friends and family who are looking in each day. It is an encouragement to see and feel the support from so many of you. Thanks for all your love and concern!!
