What a wonderful afternoon! All the delighted parents met their daughters today. A warm welcome to Brenna, Katlyn, Annie, Lianna, Katie, Sami and Mei Ying!

A glorious day! All the babies were legally adopted. As each adoption was completed everyone cheered! Morning was spent with Civil Affairs, Notary and Public Security officials. Tonight we're looking forward to a celebration dinner at the Cow and Bridge Thai restaurant.

Four of the families took a trip to Qing Cheng today. The other three stayed in Guangzhou and shopped, shopped, shopped! Lovely Japanese dinner at Hirata's.

Three families took a trip to the city of Gaoming. The other four families had a chance to shop! Dinner this evening at the Rose Restaurant and then off to a 90 minute foot and shoulder massage! Ah, just what the new moms needed!

A nice down day. More smiles every day. Photo shoot at the photo shop this morning and then lots of time to relax before dinner at a restaurant for the adventurous eater. Tonight is the Dads' turn for the foot massage!

Half day tour with the whole group this morning to the Six Banyan temple and the Chen Family Temple. The sun came out today, second time on the trip. Richard found a "new" restaurant for dinner. The Station Restaurant,Coffee and Wine Bar. Very nice, great food!

Today was the consulate appointment and all the visa applications were submitted.
Everyone is starting to think forward about going home in just two days! Big pizza party in Jane's room tonight.

Wednesday 3/1
Today is Group 46's last day. Lots (and lots!) of last minute shopping and then extra suitcase shopping. Off to the US Consulate this afternoon for the swearing in by the consular officials. Tonight was the last night banquet dinner. I think we'll all miss being with the group but can't wait to come home to our family and friends!
