Zoo, Consulate Oath, and Packing
Today was very full. We were up very early headed for the Guangzhou Zoo. It was wonderful and such a nice zoo. Lots of pictures to share. After we arrived back to the hotel, we worked on finishing up some shopping. At 2:45PM, we were headed to the US Consulate for the Ceremony. The room was very full of wonderful parents and adorable babies. I would guess at least 100 babies have loving homes now as represented in the big room today. We repeated the words while raising our right hand and before we knew it, we were free to leave the country....Hudson's Passport and Visa ready to go. As soon as we hit US soil, he will have two citizenships: China and United States. Some people have to wait all their lives to be a citizen of our great country. Not only is Hudson, loved and adopted by our family, he is also "adopted" by our country and given permission to walk right into our great land. This is exactly what our Heavenly Father has given us...citizenship in Heaven and Eternal Life through HIM if we believe.
After the Ceremony, we started packing and taking care of last minute shopping. We, once again, had a famous artist draw the kids pictures. They will love it. I gave the artist a picture of each child and he did a very large print. I will include them in the pictures. I can't believe today was our last day in China. Tomorrow morning we set the luggage out at 6 AM, eat breakfast and on the bus headed to the airport by 7 AM. We should arrive in Beijing around noon and then fly out from Beijing to the US around 4 PM. We expect to land at home around 9:30 PM. Enjoy the pictures of the past two days. I will enter the Zoo pictures after we get home. They are really good so make sure you see them soon. This should keep you busy as we are flying the next 24 hours and then you can actually meet our famous Hudson.
