Amazing Race Family Addition or Adoption from China



























Okay, we are not sure where our adoption application went - China or CBS (network of the Amazing Race). This has been absolutely crazy! Today we went to the Beijing International Christian Fellowship-Amazing Experience. Morgan was able to take his first Lord's Supper today. First time and in a country such as China - Pretty cool! Before entering, you must show your passport as Chinese nationals are not allowed to attend. So, our guides were required to stay outside. Mike spoke with a man at the church and he explained that the underground Christian church is thriving. We will explain more at a later time. From church, we went to Tiannamen (sp?) Square and the Forbidden City. That was a crazy experience. It was here that Morgan became a superstar. Many, many people stopped and asked to take pictures with him - kids, women, and men. Not sure what he really thought, but he was polite and gave them all his big cheesy grin. The Forbidden City went on and on and on ...we have never walked so much in our life. I think someone said that we had walked nearly 10 miles today - another family has been wearing a pedometer. Yesterday, she clocked us at about 5 miles. The kids are keeping up and still going strong! I will post a picture of the kids (not all are in the picture). Traffic is interesting as you will see as well. A visit to a pearl (freshwater) shop was our last stop in Beijing before heading to the airport. We flew from Beijing to Nanchang where we will stay until Friday night. Tomorrow is the big day and will be quite emotional - Look what was waiting for us in our hotel room when we checked in a few moments ago. Look for pictures tomorrow!
