Hi everyone,
We leave for China on Tuesday July 1! We'll be spending Independence Day hiking the Great Wall, and then we leave to pick up Gracie in the captial of Henan province (the city is called Zhengzhou, and is pronounced "Jeng-Joe").
We then go to Guangzhou ("Gwong-Joe") to visit the US Consulate and finalize with the US government. There is an official swearing-in ceremony before we depart for the US on July 16.
Bunnie Wall (Amy's Mom) is traveling with us to help care for Quentin and Andrew when we need to do paperwork and visit with government officials to finalize the adoption.
Here is a more recent photo of Gracie, although we think she has changed since then.
Best regards,-steve
