Wed.

1.  Traditional "Red Couch" pictures!!!  These are all the kids that were adopted from Jyla's province this week!  (Guangdong) 
2.  Family of 4
3.  Group Photo
4.  Holt China Staff (the people who have been taking GOOD care of us!!  we have SO appreciated HOLT!)
 
This morning we all met for our Red Couch Pics.  We gave Jyla far too many cheerios(which you might notice in the photo) to keep her happy....she doesn't like big crowds & it was a bit chaotic, but a sweet time! 
 
This afternoon we went to the US Consulate.  NO photos allowed, but we took our oath of adoption.  It was a bit emotional for me!!  There were about 50+ families there & we all did it at the same time.  One family is here adopting their 8th child from China!!!!!!
The paperwork is officially D O N E!  (never thought I'd say that!) & well, there are still a few things to wrap up when we get home, but as for our China-paperwork, tomorrow we will pick up Jyla's visa/passport & then we are free to go home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yay! 
 
Tonight our group when on a boat cruise up the Pearl River.  It was beuatiful!
