Around the island and Medical Visit - 12/4

Family we met from Spain - their first adoption.

Tian looks like a natural.













 
The medical visit entails having a child's health checked to make sure they are healthy enough to come to the United States - vision test, looking at their ears, height, weight, blood pressure and TB test.


 Walking with a new instant friend.
The other girl is a year younger than Star.


Families with the same agency

Star's measurements converted from metric - 47 inches and 51.7 pounds.

Eye Test
a bit different than here 



Let's get our hair styled while we wait. 
Our daughter Tian, stylist Megan Groat.



A new friend





This boy loves this shirt 
and Otis of Milo and Otis.



Chinese opera being sung in a park.
It takes true grit to be able to listen to it.




Walking along side the Pearl River.
