Hi everyone!!! We are heading out to Guangzhou this afternoon, so we will officially be telling Shanghai goodbye. It has been fun, but we are ready to move on to GZ!! We hear it is the most fun part of the trip and is more kid-friendly. Mei Li is doing AMAZINGLY well!!! She sleeps well, she eats like a champ, she adores her big sis and her daddy, and she thinks her mommy hangs the moon. She is happy almost all the time---unless she doesn't get her way. Then, her little temper will flare. But, it is not long before the giggles and smiles are back.

Yesterday, we went to Mei Li's finding spot which was the waiting room at the Children's ER. I will not complain about American hospitals again. And, I am so very glad she will never have to be there again. So thankful she is with us now.

We will update again in GZ, but for now, here are some fun moments in Shanghai!!

Enjoy!!!

I loved this posting! It was one of the more emotional ones for me, with the Sisters so happy to be together and the adoption ceremony.
Glad to hear that Mei Li is adjusting so well. I think God answered those prayers that her heart would be bonded to you even before she met you and that she would know that you are her family. Praying continued blessings over your travels.
Love and hugs and prayers,
Debi
