Monday

This morning we had to get up at 6:30 because we had to be at the adoption place by 9 and it was a long drive and there was traffic. WE got there and were all very nervous about meeting Su Xue Wei. About 10 minutes of sitting there biting our nails we found out we had to drive to another place 20 minutes away until we met her. So we finished up the paperwork and things we had to do at the adoption place and then jumped in the car. We arrived at the orphanage and walked inside our translator/tourguide told us to go into the room on the right. We walked in and su xue wei and her foster family (who she has been with for 10 years of her life) were standing there. Because she had been wiht this foster family for so long they were basically her family. The second we walked up they started crying and then everyone started crying. After everyone got a hold of themselves we took a tour of the orphanage. Next we went to lunch it was very good and we ate a lot. Then we went to a museum we saw lots of ancient chinese art. It was cool they had huge jade carvings made hundred of years ago. After we came back to the hotel for a rest. Then we went to dinner they had lots fo strange things on the menu such as Shark fin and Pig intestine. What we orderer was delicous though. Tomorrow we have to get up early again to finalize the adoption and after that we are visiting su xue wei's foster families' house. it's only 9 o'clock but the jetlag never really wore off so everyone else is asleep and i'm really tired.
