New Place, New Bureaucracy


Here are all 11 babies on a couch, not getting along so well. Melissa is the one in the middle, being pushed by Olivia. The girl in the front with blue pants is Elizabeth, who is 19 months old. That is about how old we were thinking our baby might be before we got our referral.

Kristina with two of the Bristol kids. They are from the Western slope in Colorado. This was just before we climbed the 194 steps up a pagoda at the Six-Banyan-Tree Temple.
Some of the families in our group went inside and had their babies blessed by the priest.

Posing with our friend, Jacky, who helped to show us around up in Changsha. We were all feeling good then but now Kristina and John are both experiencing some tummy troubles.
Posing with our 2 daughters. We are missing our boys!

Yesterday we had a 2 hour long paperwork session, in which we went through a whole packet of papers that are required by the United States Immigration Service, filling the forms out one by one.








"I still have a runny nose and I'm beginning to be a little irritated with all these changes. I also have 6 teeth but I'm working on getting 2 more, so Mom and Dad have discovered that I don't ALWAYS sleep through the night."
