It was a beautiful day today, 70, sunny & breezy...we did some sightseeing and shopping...Guangzhou (pronounced guan joe) is such a contrast to Shenyang city...besides the obvious, weather...much much cleaner, newer...more green, fewwer cars honking! Much more welcoming to adoptive families...no staring at the blondes too, since there are adoptive parents all over the place...besides US consulate, the British and Japanese are also here...I think Canada is in Beijing, but would guess there are other countries here, since it is a very diverse crowd. The hotel is very large and about 1/2 of the guests are adopting...great to see so many kids find forever families...many families on their 2nd, 3rd or 4th adoption. Elizabeth in our tiny group is on her 3rd adoption of her 4th child from China (twins last time), so she has been very helpful with suggestions on Kailey...her son is 10 months old and his "special need" is 2 fingers shorter than normal!! She will bid farewell to us tomorrow since babies don't have TB testing so their adoption is quicker.
Yesterday Kailey had to get her medical exam which includes the TB test, she did great, didn't cry at all when the different Dr. checked her out and she got the test (shot)....so far so good on the TB. The medical clinic was very busy with families and very loud....My ear pod (cochlear remote) was fried in the airport X-ray machine inShenyan city, so can't turn volume down!
Tomorrow it is back to the clinic for results and clearance, the rest of the day and Tuesday are free time..hoping to find a spa to get a $12.00 reflexology massage (legit). Tuesday off to zoo! She'll love that...hopefully the animals treated well..we couldn't get a consulate appt on Tuesday so the reason for the free day..
Kailey has been getting adjusted...her new thing is to take her clothes off! (why we didn't make church this am). She is sleeping more now...her Daddy says she is a Snitzer doesn't like mornings...can be cranky!
Will try to get more pictures soon.
Hopefully her Uncle David has a much better 50 birthday!
