Today is the last day in ZZ! Our guide is picking up Neely's Chinese passport as I type. This will conclude all the China required part of her adoption. The next stop is Guangzhou where the US Consulate is located and where we will finish all the US paperwork. We will get Neely a US Visa to travel home and once her toes touch US soil she will become a US citizen.
She is becoming so much calmer and we are seeing fewer and fewer tantrums. She has long periods where she will just sit quietly and play. Today some of the people from the group went to the zoo but we opted out because of the weather (cold and dreary) and because Mom has a terrible cough and I have had a sore throat. Mom must have been feeling bad because she actually started her antibiotic---she NEVER gives in to medicine! The air quality here is horrendous between the smoking and the pollution! The air quality in Beijing was so much better than here. We haven't seen blue sky since we arrived in ZZ.
Neely doesn't like CHOCOLATE! How can THAT be?????
And she does NOT like hairbows. We will have to work on that!
I took Neely to the playroom here at the Crown Plaza. They just made it a few weeks ago and she has a ball there. I was finally able to catch some of her personality on film! Enjoy!
How Long Since We Sent LOI?
How Long Have We Been LID?

Marcy,
I just caught up on the back posts I missed. Neely is beautiful!!! I am so enjoying living through you all right now. It seems Neely is perfect for your family. What a head of hair. Hope you can help her over the bow thing.
We had the same experience with air quality in Changsha when we adopted Elizabeth 4 years ago. It was so bad that my husband got an awful cold and slept for 3 or 4 days when we got to Guangzhou.
Enjoy Guangzhou and the warmer weather.

Enjoy Guangzhou... it felt like going to the beach for us... very tourist friendly. Lots of great places to shop and eat. It was in Guangzhou that Katelyn's personality started shining through... I'm sure Neely will continue to blossom. Soon, you'll be home!!!! HUGS!!!
