look at the buffet. It has a huge section of asian food (dumplings,
rice, beans), then it has an american kids section (pizza, chicken and
fish nuggets), omelette station, fruit and vegetable station, bread,
juice...everything you can possibly imagine. After breakfast we went
to the Bank of China to get the orphanage donation changed from
American money to Yuan. Then we walked around the hotel showing the
girls the waterfalls and pools. We left the kids in the room with Yu
Chuan at 1:00 and headed to meet Helen. We got to the Civil Affairs
Office at 2:30 and our son wasn't there yet. The room was full of
couples adopting babies and toddlers and a couple who were adopting
older children. We saw our son the minute he walked into the room. He
had a huge grin on his face and recognized us immediately. When he
came out of the room, I hugged him and so did George. He welcomed our
hugs which was a worry that I had. We waited for about 30 minutes
before being asked some questions from the officials.
The girls were very excited to meet their big brother. They all hugged
him and he welcomed their hugs as well. I am so glad that I brought
the girls Leapsters because he went right to it and tried to play. The
girls helped him and they all started playing together.
He is such a sweet little boy and appears very happy to be going to
America. He doesn't like to be wasteful and wanted to wrap up the
leftover bread from dinner. I am so glad that we brought our friend
with us. It has made the communication and transition so much easier.
