The earthquake that hit in Sichuan province is well north of us. It was devastating for many as it also had several significant aftershocks. We are much too far away to even feel a tremor, but we feel for those thousands who were not as fortunate.
We are thankful to be protected and well cared for in Guangzhou. Today we had interviews and notary sessions that finalized our adoption. Rachel XiaoMei is now ours officially in the eyes of the government. Tomorrow, Wednesday, we start the process on applying for her passport.
She slept great last night in her crib! She was surely tuckered from a long life-changing day. She is eating and drinking well. She loves to be held! Today we shopped at Carrefour for basic supplies and food for us all. Elizabeth was excited about the shopping calling it "Woo-Mart". We have met many families here. It's extraordinary to share this experience with other families from around the world enjoying the same life-altering adoption.
We love you and thank you all for your ongoing pryrs and encouraging comments. They're great 'letters' from home!
