Joy for Joy

Saturday, Guangzhou - Joy had all her medical examines today as part of our consulate requirements. The clinic by the hotels here has an area just for the children being adopted. There were signs on the wall that read "Keep Quiet"... it was hardly quiet in there with probably at least a dozen or more kids getting poked and measured, etc. and crying all the way through it. The whole scene was rather humurous. We ran into people there that we had met in Beijing before we had recieved our kids and others that we met briefly when we were in Zhengzhou. It was fun to catch up again in the midst of the "quietness".

Joy continues to relax and lighten up each day. She actually did a little bonding to dad today, but mom is by far her first choice. As you can see we are getting lots of smiles from Joy now. She is a beautiful girl with a full and vibrant personality. Her will is strong but I think it will serve her well in the years ahead (we think it comes from her mom's side). Cannot wait for our family & friends to meet her.
