at the Guangdong Province Adoption Affairs office. This
was the day that I had to hand over our authenticated
Power of Attorney forms to the Chinese authorities so I
could act on Lauren's behalf in the adoption process.
These are additional forms that we did not have (nor were
required to have) when Lauren went home from Beijing on an
emergency flight in October. Leeya is taking her afternoon
nap as I type this. The attached photos are of Leeya
playing on the bed this morning before we left for the
Guangdong Province Adoption Affairs office, pictures of
Joyce our Holt guide/interpreter with our paperwork at the
adoption office, and Leeya outside of Carefour (a big
multistory Walmart store) in central Guangzhou for our
shopping trip for diapers and other necessities. Tomorrow
we apply for Leeya's Chinese passport and start the US
Visa process. Please pray for our required US Visa medical
check-up and immunizations on Friday morning (Thursday PM
US Time). I've heard from many families staying at the
White Swan Hotel that it is not a pleasant experience and
another questionable requirement of our own government.
Enough ranting I'm signing off for today. Thank you for
your prayers!
