Today we received Emmie's birth certificate and pass port. As part of the paper work we found out that Emmie had been abandoned at a local hospital when she was 2 and was then in foster care for the last 6 years. We went to the orphanage and the hospital where she was abandoned. We also went to her school that she attended for the last year where during recess we became a little bit of an attraction with about 100 kids gathering around us to slap five and say hello in English. We where a couple of Americans on display.
Today is a our last day in Nanchagn and tomorrow we travel to Guangzhou. In Guangzhou we obtain Emmies Visa, have a medical exam and complete the Consulate appointment. In Guangzhou we will meet up with the 12 families we started with in Beijing so it will be nice to be with some English speaking folks.
Emmie has made great progress in learning English, really she has learned the most important word she needs to be American, "COFFEE".
