Today was the day when all of the newly adopted children get dressed up in traditional Chinese garb to have their photo taken on the red couch in the lobby of the White Swan Hotel. Emily liked getting dressed up, but she wasn't too keen about the group photo. (A girl after my own heart!). She was the life of the party at the afternoon tea we attended following the photo, though. She continues to be very happy and extremely active in comparison to her compatriates who are all about the same age as she.
Tomorrow we go to the US Consulate for an oath-taking ceremony. Then on to Hong Kong via train. We spend one night in Hong Kong and then we fly back to the States on Thursday. We are definitely ready to come home and we are very much looking forward to seeing Colin and Alex!
Too Cute! Emily, John Travolta wants to dance with you on some Saturday night.
ReplyDeleteEllen and Steve: Thanks for sharing your posts. What a wonderful and incredible journey for the whole family. I love the pic of all the girls on the "big red couch" -- so sweet! Congratulations to the entire family! Tracey T.
