Adoption Trips

We received the mint money on Monday. Mom and Dad arrived on Tuesday. We got our passports and notice of coming back on Thursday.

Seems like we are not running around enough for this trip but as V said we have everything we need and we know what to take.

We got a little heat from the adoption agency for sending a package to the orphanage. That's a no no.

One family for our group left Friday and is traveling via HK on the way to Beijing.

A large group leave Wednesday.

We leave Thursday at 10am with another large group.

Finally one family is going direct to Nanning and will meet the rest of us there on Sunday.

Hopefully B will not cry too much when we leave. We plan to say goodbye and leave him at C's (babysitter) while we go to the airport. He can play with the kids all day and he won't miss us until he comes home.

Nana Grampy and B are to call us every morning (night in China) so that we won't miss him too much.

If any one else wants to call the numbers are below. B will be calling us at 8am EST each day unless otherwise noted so the line wil be busy during those times. There are 13 hours difference between EST and China Standard Time.

We get C on March 13
