Well our last day here has finally come. It is good to be heading home, but we will definately miss China. We said goodbye to some new friends who are on their way home and elsewhere today. I can't say enough how God has put us all together in this place at this time. Our group has truly been remarkable, supportive and each of us contributing something different but necessary.
We had a cold day and spent the morning with a little last minute shopping.
We went to the White Swan for some "red couch" photos, a staple in the China adoption world! THe boys never smile or look at the camera at the same time though!. Chuan is usually trying to make Liam look at he camera and then he is looking at Liam when I finally get the pic! THen CHuan is doing Kung Fu moves over LIam's head instead of being still and looking at the camera. Boys.
We had a nice lunch at Lucy's and walked back to our hotel another way and I FINALLY found my friend Judy who I knew from our last trip here. She is really sweet and recognized me almost immediately. Her shopt had to move and she used to be under the Victory on the main drag of shops and is now a street further than Jordan's and Lucy's if anyone else goes and is looking for her!
After lunch and our last minute gifts, we went back to the hotel to say goodbye to our new friends and Chuan's old friends. I'm pretty sure they don't understand the significance of what is going on. Chuan and Guang Fu watced cartoons and played in his room for a while tonight then we came back and have been paking furiously ever since! I think we got everything and only had to buy once suitcase!
So we're off tomorrow and can't wait to be home
Our final post from China, Amanda, Paula, Liam and Chuan
