| June 4th. We made it to Minneapolis. Just 20 more hours to go! A.G. already lost his boarding pass. Good thing they will give him another one! |
| June 5th Well, almost 24 hours after leaving Austin and he have finally arrived in Japan. Within the past 24 hours, we have yet to see darkness. On to Beijing - it is 4:24 am Austin time and 6:24 pm Tokyo time. |
| June 5th. We have arrived in Beijing! Our guide, Veronica, met us at the airport. We were scanned for fever by medical health professionals prior to deboarding the plane. That was interesting. 10:30 pm - Beijing Time |
| June 6th. Great day - we had fantastic tours and enjoyed the whole day. Amy, Sue, and Jacob made it to the top of the Great Wall. The two old guys couldn't hack it! |
| This is the group we will be traveling with. There are a total of 11 families receiving their daughters tomorrow. |
| Jacob enjoyed the Emperor's Garden and meeting his new friend Drew. |
| Notice the sign - Congratulations to Amanda for her high school graduation. We are so sorry we weren't able to be there! Look out A&M. |
| June 8th: Jade is doing great! She slept 8+ hours last night and is eating very well. We finalized the adoption today at Civil Affairs and it is final. Now we just have to wait on her passport approval and U.S. requirements. |
| June 8th: The above group picture was taken with the director of the orphanage in Fuzhou. He was able to tell us about the home in which Jade has been living for the past year. We found out that she was in foster care in the country. She has been living with a family of three people who are vegitable farmers. She loves fruits and vegitables! |
