Well, we have died and gone to heaven. We arrived at the White Swan Hotel in Guangjho on Friday night at 1:00 am. It was a rough night for Bryce but he was a real trooper. The hotel is full of families from all over the US who have adopted children in China, it is nice to be with others who know what you are going through.
Yesterday the kids all had their physicals and visa photos taken. Bryce weights 30 pounds and is 32 1/2 inches tall. Big boy! Today we went to a jade shop and the Chin Family Temple. Very beautiful.
Tomorrow is a stay at the hotel day. We will swim and go to the play room. We have purchased Bryce's traditional Chinese outfit and will have a photo taken with the other kids in our group on the famous Red Couch in the lobby of the hotel.
One sad story, one of the families with us in Beigjing went home without their child. After the baby's physical exam, is was determined there was neurological issues and the childs life expectency was short. We were devistated to hear the news and pray for them.
On Tuesday, we go to the American Consulate for the oath taking ceremony. On Wednesday we pick up Bryce's visa and head to Hong Kong for our flight out on Thursday.
Looking forward to getting back home.
Love you all,
Shelley, Bryce and Kim
