We left Jinan, China on Friday. We had to say goodbye to the only home THomas has ever known. He was so familiar with the city, the parks and especially the pigeons that he loved to feed. It was sad to say goodbye, yet he really didn't understand the significance of the moment, and that his whole world was about yo change. We know without a doubt that it will change for the better, yet this is the only world he has ever known.
It is bittersweet because as we feel bad leaving his city we are so excited for the next and final step in our adoption journey. We are on our way to Guangzhou!!!! If anyone has ever been to Guangzhou, you will understand what I mean! I feel like I am headed to the Charlston,SC of China. It has a different feel from the other big cities we have been in. It is very western and pretty and there are many other adoptive families all around, you almost forget you are in China! We will meet up with our Holt adoption group and see how all the other families are doing with their children. This is where the US consulate is, and where we will pick up his visa to enter the US. It is the final stop for all Americans adopting!!!
