Free Time in Guangzhou

The last couple of days have been spent filing and waiting on immigration paperwork in Guangzhou.  This afternoon was our actual consulate appointment where we took the oath.  Once Miles touches U.S. soil he will automatically be a citizen as a result of today's ceremony.  The girls went to the pearl market for some shopping this morning and the boys went to a local fish market.  Tomorrow we are visiting Mac's orphanage which we were unable to visit in 2008 because of the flooding.  We are excited to have the opportunity to finally see where Mac spent the first 19 months of his life.  We only have two more nights in Guangzhou and one night in Hong Kong before we are homeward bound.  We have, of course, enjoyed our time in China but are ready to bring Miles home to meet everyone.  He is a different child than the scared, uneasy little boy we met just one week ago today.  It has been amazing to watch the transformation in him!
