Medical Exam - Saturday

Examination Room for Adopted Children in Guangzhou Medical Clinic
We are staying on an island now. It is beautiful with lots of trees and very humid. We've been in 50 to 60 degree weather all week, and this is Mexico weather, so it's been a nice change.
This medical clinic is about 5 minutes walk from our hotel - the whole island is only about a mile long. For Luke's US Visa, he needed to have a physical, so we did this Saturday morning.


These two brothers and their adoptive family from California were waiting for their exam as well. They are around 9 and 11. They've been in an orphanage for three years. Their family died in a flood. Their family in California paid for a tutor to go to their orphanage for 3 months to give them private English lessons while they were waiting to travel. They could speak basic English. The were so cute and excited to have their new family.

I hope this works. We have been following your blog, but we didn't know how to comment on it, it wants a password, but now we signed up for something. I hope this new fad of the "interwebbernet" passes soon. Anyways, everytime there's a new post we sit down as a family and read through it. Jane is sooooo excited to see Baby Luke. It looks like you are having so much fun and exciting adventures. We can't wait to see you guys and hear all about it. Have a swell week.
