Hey everyone its Samantha writing the blog today for Thursday.
Let’s just say we had a busy day today. This is how it started.
Well, once I got up my mom made me put on a shirt that is now my
favorite shirt that says “jie jie” which in Chinese means older
sister. So after that and the yelling and the crying of grace my
mom and I, all of us except my dad went to the white swan to get
the red couch picture. (I bet you all know where my dad is going
to the lounge). So, Grace hated the red couch. We tried to make
her laugh and she would sit only with her bottle. You are going
to love my sister Grace! Bye Samantha
Hi everyone,
Samantha is right we had a very busy day. We also went to the
Pearl Market . We did not have a lot of time but we wanted to
stop by to see what it was like. We bought Samantha beautiful
fresh water pearl earrings for being such an amazing daughter
and sister. Paul and I could not be more proud of the way she
handled herself on this trip. She has been an amazing help to us
and a wonderful big sister to Grace.
We had to meet Jack in the lobby at 230pm to head over to the
Consulate for our Visa appt. We had to wait to hear Grace’s
birth name called. We just walked in the door and we hear over
the loud speaker, the parents of Zhang Qi Song please approach
the window. We had to sign another set of papers and then take a
seat along with 40 other families and wait for the final Oath.
All families take the Oath together. You raise your right hand
and swear all the information on all your Chinese paperwork is
true and you will love and take care of your child. It was a
touching moment for me. Finally , all the paperwork finished.
Tomorrow we pick up Visa and leave on a train for Hong Kong.
We are having dinner at the Chinese restaurant and we are taking
Emma with us. Meghan and Keith are packing for their departure
tomorrow at 6am. Samantha is going to be sad to say goodbye to
Emma they have become great friends the past 2 weeks. We are
hoping to meet them over the summer for a day trip in
Pennsylvania where Meghan sister lives.
Goodnight and next post will be from Hong Kong!!!!!
Love the Ciringione’s |
