In Gongzhou, Day 7, September 6







Hi all, we've made it to Gongzhou after Tommy's first plane ride, and trip out of his province. The pictures are of us having tea with the Susan, the director who oversees all adoptions in Heilongjiang Province. There is a picture of Tommy on this first trip, he loved the planes! He traveled very well, enjoyed the in-flight meal and snack. He can eat a lot!
The Victory hotel is very nice, and Shamian Island, where we are located near the U.S. Consulate, caters to many adoptive families, so it is a welcome change from the remote northern province where we have come from. Lots of friendly faces, and children for Tommy to play with! I've heard there is even a Starbucks nearby! I am still having a hard time coming up with a "Coke Light". They have become popular, I'm told, so are often sold out of the small grocery stores. The hotel room is larger, with more room to play. There's a picture of Tommy and Rick playing cars on the floor. Tommy loves cars as much as William, they will have a great time!
We had the medical exam today, there's a picture of a very unhappy boy at the clinic. He didn't like it at all; then we readied the paperwork for the U.S. Consulate appointment on Monday.
We're headed out to find some lunch, thanks for following along with us!
Love and miss you William & C.J....love, mom & dad
