China Zoo

The China Zoo was probably the best zoo I have been too. I, April, loved it! You could really see the animals up close. The elephants were really interactive. One of them looked like it was waving at us for the longest time. We also seen lots of school children who loved practicing their English by saying "Hello". They were really cute.

The end of an exhausting Day. She had no trouble sleeping that night!

Day 4, Gotcha Day

Day 4, Gotcha Day in Guangzhou, China

Our baby girl, Anabelle! She was pretty sad for the first few minutes, which is normal. It's such an overwhelming experience for them.

One of the nannies helped me to calm her. I think they really liked her. They were all very sweet.

She warmed up to us a little after we got out the bubbles!

Day 3, The Great Wall, Beijing

The Great Wall was absolutely beautiful! It was a little windy that day, but decent weather. However, I, April, was already nursing a little bit of a cold. After being out in the breeze that day, I almost lost my voice completely! The next day was Gotcha Day, the day we would meet Anabelle, so we were saying lots of prayers that I would start feeling better...

Day 2 in Forbidden City, Beijing

Our trip to China!

Flying over the Polar Ice Caps! It was an amazing view! I kept thinking of the verse "I will bring your daughters from the ends of the world" in Isaiah, because it really felt like we were going to the ends of the world!
