Wrapping It All Up - February 13, 2007
Our last group dinner with the six families from Wasatch International Adoption Agency.
Our last group dinner with the six families from Wasatch International Adoption Agency. 
Today consisted of getting a few last trinkets to remind us of our time in this beautiful country and eating together as a group tonight at a local Chinese restaurant, traditional family style. Large portions of various dishes are prepared and then set upon a huge raised tray in the middle of the table. When you want something, you just spin the tray and help yourself. It was all delicious. I was so proud of Ben and Zane for trying all kinds of ethnic food.
We check out of the hotel tomorrow, and then we go to the US Consulate along with about 40 other families. The visas will be issued, and then we go straight to the airport to catch a nighttime flight to LA for an overnight stay. Then it’s to Alabama on the 15th. Hooray!!
I’m not sure when we will be able to write again. I assume the LA hotel will have internet access, but I can’t promise I’ll have the energy after the 14 hour flight!!! I’ll try to get the Red Couch photo on this site as soon as I can. So…. farewell from China. Or as they say here, “Chy-chin.”

The same photo without the moms.
The same photo after a couple of the kids decide they want their moms back.
We are glad be writing this journal entry from our hotel in LA. The minute our feet hit U.S. soil, Emma became an American citizen. Hooray! She’s totally ours now!!! (And since landing, we've also discovered that she likes Domnino's pizza as much as we do)
Here are the last photos we took in
