On both of our previous adoption trips, we made great friendships with our precious facilitators. Samson, our helper on Molly's adoption trip, is one of the best facilitators in China. We have kept in touch with him and got to meet his new wife and baby last night! We found Ann, our 2nd facilitator, on the streets of Guangzhou our first night here. She is a doll, and has a sweet little 3 year old boy. When we adopted Madelyn in the Jiangxi province, our facilitator in Nanchang was a wonderful woman named Guilan. She is probably in her 50s and was quite the "little general." She was able to keep our large adoption group in line :) She and Madelyn also share the same birthday which made for an even deeper friendship. Last night after Samson and his family left our hotel room, I thought that this trip would be perfect if we could see Guilan again. We got on the hotel elevator this morning, and there she was!!! We will be able to spend time with her tonight after our cruise. It is a very small world.
All of our consulate paperwork has gone through inspection. and everything was filled out correctly - way to go Randy!!! We will pick up Mason's Chinese passport and visa later today, and leave for home tomorrow! For all of you Texans. our flight here leaves about the time you will wake up on Friday morning. We arrive in Amarillo at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday!!!!!! We can't wait to hold all of our children.

Wow, that's amazing! I didn't know you got to see Guilan too! If you see any of them again tell them I said hi! We love you guys!!! TWO MORE DAYS!! That means only 2 more mornings of waking up at 6:30, only 48 more hours of listening to whining, only 4 more times of watching the sheep movie, only 57 more times of listening to the "LaLa" song, only (or should I say "at least") 3 more meltdowns from both of the girls...Is there any way you could catch an earlier flight?? I'm just kidding, the girls are being really good. We're just all REALLY ready for you to get home!!
Safe travels to all of you!
Can't wait to meet Mason, hopefully sometime this summer!
Hugs, Astrid
