Saturday 1/30 Medical Exam and Apply for Visa

This morning was Tia's medical exam. She did very well with being weighed and measured...poked and prodded. But the sweet little girl came to an end when they took her out of his arms to draw blood and TB test. She went into the room screaming and came out crying. When they opened the door from her to come back to us, she couldn't get to Baba quickly enough!

We enjoyed chatting with several other adoptive families this morning. With all American adoptive families spending their final week in Guangzhou, we get to interact with several throughout our time here. It is amazing how the common tie of adoption causes a bond to form with families who we have never met before. This is the third adoption for one of the families in our group and fourth adoption with the other family. Two more other families will be joining us tomorrow.

Kian made quick friends!! The boy on the right is the son of our guide. The one on the left is the newly adopted son of another family in our group.
