Sophia woke us up this morning. We are all so excited to have a new member in our family!


We were able to meet Carol and her cousin Gina this morning. Carol is from PA and is also adopting a Chinese baby.


I talked to a couple of Chinese people who wanted to practice their English. One of them was a young man, James, 19 years old. James told me he was an only child. He said, parents would be charged about 6,000 yen for having a second child. The other one, was an older man, his English was pretty good. He told me he learns English by watching American movies and talking to tourists. I also played hacky sack with some Chinese people.
