I'm Currently In China Blogging About Our Adoption Trip:


We have accomplished what we are here for.
Sort of.

We have our daughter, we've signed our paperwork, but apparently we have to go to Guangzho for a passport to get our daughter home.

Guangzho is the only place in China to do this. Imagine if we boiled all of the DMV's in the US down to one location in Des Moines and everyone had to go there to get their passport or license. Yeah, I'm not looking forward to this.

A typhoon blew into China and it has been raining for 2 days, a welcome relief from the scorching heat.

I came down with something since we got to Nanjing, so between the rain and me being under the weather we have been checking out cable in Asia. The Chinese either enjoy or have been saddled with the collected work of Gary Bussey (and his son - "Busey the Lesser" as he is known here) and anything with a Baldwin Brother in it.

I think there is a catagory below "Direct To DVD" in the scale of bad movies - "Direct to Chinese Cable."

Thankfully I was feeling much better today and Flynn and I went out and explored town.

Flynn is kind of a rockstar here. The Chinese are very curious about a gringo like me carrying around a little "Daughter of China." We get a lot of smiles, thumbs up and good wishes. I also got a couple scoldings to put socks on my daughter (this is my first kid, If I knew any mandarin at all I'd aske them to cut me some slack!)

I'm trying to get our photos up, but having a little trouble on my end. Maybe in Guangzhou.

By the way, I'm controlling my urges to sit and gush about how incredibly cute our daughter is.
But I'm not made of stone, so don't be surprised if my new Dad bias slips in to some upcoming posts!

I love your blog! I can just see it all. I'm glad you are feeling better- those planes are like petri dishes, aren't they?

Gush, go ahead- it's mandatory! And don't worry about socks- babies like free toes and Flynn will TELL you if she's unhappy, I promise you.

Good luck with the passport journey- what a cluster! More to see and tell us about, but I can feel for you how great it will be to come home and start your new life.
