Moving through the different check stations. Ears look good!
Hey guys were almost done!
Other families waiting at the Medical Examiners facility.
Sweet dreams, precious little one!
Our flight was very smooth from Nanchang to Guangzho on Sunday and Jenna did very well. Madison did a great job of keeping Jenna occupied with magazines, drawing and of course eating snacks.
We have been having some trouble here in Guangzho getting on the internet which is why we haven't posted any updates. I can get in to the site to post but can't see the site like you all can - very weird.
Anyway, yesterday we took Jenna to get her physical exam - she passed with flying colors. There were lots of other families there getting PE for their adopted children as well. It was heart wrenching as some of the children would not let go of their mommies, clinging on with both hands and legs due to fear of either the doctors or fear that the parents were going to leave them - very emotion experience.
Jenna's personality is really starting to come out more and more each day - Sunday, on the way to the hotel from the airport madison had her laughing and singing, which was the first time we'd heard her talk at all. Yesterday, she goofed off a little with mommy and grandma playing peekaboo and just being silly - it was just an awesome feeling to hear her laugh and sing.
When we got back from a very short shopping trip, Jenna finally made a poopy on her own. It wasn't very big, but we were all excited about it. I am a little concerned, though, now that the damn has broken (hee, hee) and we are gong to be out most of the day today.
Today, our guide will take our paperwork and fees to the Consulate where they will check to make sure everything is in order. She also will send off the paperwork for Jenna's Visa. Then on Wednesday, we go to take the oath at the Consulate which is the final step here in China.
Please pray everything will continue to go smoothly. We appreciate all of your prayers!
I will post more later.
