Guangzho, China – the last step in the process
We are now in Guangzhou, China. This is where the U.S. Consulate Office is located. We’ll be getting Ava’s visa here to get through customs when we arrive in the states. Once we get those little feet on U.S. soil, she becomes a United States citizen!
Today, we did some shopping. First we went to a small shop looking for Jade. For Ava, the biggest hit of all were the goldfish in the pond.
After the Jade shop, it was on to the mall, where one entire floor (out of 5) was dedicated to beads and pearls. Of course, we weren’t the least bit interested in beads. We headed straight for the pearl shop.
One crazy mall!
It’s time for bed now, we’ll post more tomorrow.

Nice for all of us that she likes the fish since her daddy is the fishman. The mall looks very interesting.

Hello Valiers! We saw your mom and dad at the grocery this afteroon. They had just picked up the kids from David and Krista’s house. We were so happy to hear that you have Ava and will be on your way home Wednesday. Have a safe journey! So happy for all of you!! May God Bless!
I am so excited for you!! She looks so happy in all of the pictures. I can’t wait to welcome my new baby cousin when I come out in May. I only wish I could be there this week with the rest of my family. Safe travels home!! You should make my mom and Cinda make you some real good genuine american cuisine for when you get back
Love you all so much!
Awesome pictures, I really enjoyed sharing in your experience. I couldn’t help but LOL when you commented on the driving and the traffic! I have heard that from others that have traveled to China. I also thought of how nice it is that the Chinese people are so happy that one of their children is going to be loved and cared for in the U.S. God Bless and have a safe trip home!
