Wednesday: Mimi speaks (types)

Yesterday was emotional when the babies were turned over to their new families. It was very precious. This morning was even more emotional as I watched Jan and Parrish promise to take care of their girls and place their thumb prints over their signatures on two sets of adoption papers and then place the footprints of each child on their respective papers. After all families has gone through the same process, we were gathered together in one room and were given boxes for each child as well as pictures of the girls together. But not only that, we received the notes left with them that stated their birth date as well as the time they were born. It was very moving.

This afternoon we went to a Chinese Walmart Supermart. It was two stories will all foods on one floor and everything else on the 2nd floor. The whole store was above a clothing mall. It was a very interesting experience. I have never before seen chicken feet sold by the kilogram.

On the bus ride back to the hotel, we talked about how grateful we are to live where we do and have the advantages we do. We should be humble and very grateful. These precious babies have a wonderful life ahead of them. I am very, very grateful for our two precious, beautiful girls.
