Rock Stars?


While spending time at the zoo and walking the streets of Nanchang today, you would think we were rock stars (Scott prefers pretending he is a pro basketball player). Unlike in Hong Kong, the people of Nanchang are not used to seeing Americans because the city is not typically a tourist destination. So everywhere we go people stare at us, and many start trying to speak with us. Neither of us knows any Chinese except that “hola” means hello (actually it’s “Ni Hoa”, but you get the point). So, CCAI has provided us badges to wear that explain in Chinese that “we are Americans and are adopting an abandoned child and we promise to love and care for her always”. The reaction from everyone who reads it is the same…they give us a genuine smile and a big thumbs up.

  • The latest pictures of Caroline seem to be even more glowing than the first ones. I know it must be from all the love, prayers, and nourishment she is getting now.
    We can't wait to see you all. We miss you and love you.
