Day of Shopping and Fun in Guangzhou

We slept in this morning and went to breakfast late.  From 11:00 - 12:00 today we had to stay in our room just in case China had questions about us adopting Lauren.  The phone rang at 11:15 and it scared us.  We thought there might be a problem.  Instead it was our guide letting us know that all is well and that we could pick up our adoption decree from her room.  We were elated to know that this was one of the last steps and that our journey here is almost over.  Thursday we will be heading to the US Consulate to take the oath that we will not hurt or abandon her. 

We enjoy the comments!  We love and miss you all!

She will brush her teeth after watching Mommy brush hers.
