The days seem to be flying by although we are looking forward to coming home in 4 days. It will be nice to get Jillian settled in to her new life in America. We are travelling with a wonderful group of people. All the children are transitioning and bonding with their new families. The older children seem to take a little bit longer. We believe possibly because of grieving or perhaps fear of abandonment. The children are all so precious.
Today we went to a buddhist temple and Paul & I got repremanded for placing Jillian on a beautiful white jade buddha. The woman pointed to the sign which was in Chinese language. Whoops, not fluent in Chinese yet. It was a beautiful temple with enormous Buddhas and magnificent Pagodas(huge Chinese tower).
We went to the pearl market and got some nice things for everyone. They string everything in front of you and put a knot in between each pearl. It's amazing how fast they do it. We went to the Jade factory but nothing stood out to us. Jillian just goes with the flow, very content and watching all the new things around her. She did wonderfully on the two hour flight to Guangzhou....slept most of the way. She's eating& sleeping well.
We are now waiting for Jillian's visa and to take an oath to take good care of her.
