We are in Guangzhou! I know it has been a few days since I posted anything but I have just taken some time to get to know my little Bohemian Mama! She is fantastic. She has a personality and smile that can light up the room. I am almost positive that God sent her to me to enrich my life. She fits so well with me and the family that is uncanny!
We spent the first day getting her visa prepared so she will be able to fly home with us. She had to have a medical exam(she weighs 23lbs and height is 31 inches). All of the Chinese people that see her refer to her as tall and spicy. The spicy is reference to the females of the Jiangxi province in which she was born. But I think she is spicy because she is one spit fire with an attitude to accompany it. She loves to do everything herself which I embrace so I am going to try to include a photo of her feeding herself. She loves noodles!!!
We have been touring with another family who just adopted a 14 year old. This story is so inspiring that I thought I would share it with you.

10 years ago, this family adopted a little girl from China when she was 4 years old. For the past 10 years this little girl kept referring to her sister in China. The family just thought the little girl was referring to the other children at the orphanage. Well across the sea in China, a little girl kept telling the orphanage about her sister she had. Again, the orphanage did not pay too much attention to the little girl until now. The little girl is 14years old and soon would not be eligible for adoption so the orphanage looked into the little girls story and indeed found that the girl did have a twin sister who had been adopted 10 years ago and lives in the United States.
The Orphanage got into contact with the adoption agency who in turn called the family and asked if they would want to adopt the little girls twin. So they did! They are here with us in Guangzhou finalizing the paperwork for the twin sister. The girls are phenomenal. They are identical twins and have very similar mannerisms. It has been thrilling to be a part of their journey as well.
We will be in Guangzhou for several more days and then we are back to Beijing! I will keep you posted.
So happy you all are doing well! Avery and I can't wait to meet Lucy. Hope you are enjoying Guangzhou. Definitely eat at the italian restaurant, it was a fav of ours while there!
