Today David went to the Consulate and did at the stuff that I know nothing about! He called about 11:30 and said that all was well! What a relief!

While he was there I met some families in the hallway of our floor where I was playing ball with Corwin (had to stay in telephone range of our room in case David had to contact me)Two of the families were from Virginia near where my brother and his family just moved. One of the guys is in the Air Force and recently came back from Korea. One of the families had a boy from Inner Mongolia and he was such a cutie!! Just two and had a CL/CP just like Corwin.

In Fuzhou, we were one of three Western families that were there. Here in Guangzhou, is another story. Everyone that adopts HAS to come here. So there are Americans everywhere. This morning the breakfast buffet was so crowded that we has no place to sit. But there are some Africans here and Indians also. On our first morning here (Saturday) a man from Denmark offered to take our picture for us at breakfast. He then wanted to know how the entire adoption process works and seemed truly interested and surprised.

Tonight we go with our group, two other families from Small World and one from Lifeline on a dinner boat cruise on the Pearl River. We are becoming friends with anther Small World family here that has a little girl from Huangzhou (?) spelling it wrong! They are so nice and all the kids are here with them. They have an older girl, near D's age and two boys, K's and S's age. The dad is a nurse and is helpful because Corwin is nursing a cold...
