I just called the hotel in Yangzhou and the girl who answered indicated that the group has not arrived yet. It has been a long day for them as they were up very early this morning at 6am and are still not at the hotel and it is 9:30pm there.
On the agenda for them tomorrow is:
There will be a Welcoming party for the kids and their families at the Orphanage, they will than get a tour and visit and of course play with the many children who live there. Kennedy has brought over 70 teddy bears for the kids, 400 toothbrushes with toothpaste and 40 pairs of onesies. 3 of the 4 bags they brought with them are filled to the brim with stuff for the children. I hope they love what Kennedy will be giving them.
Kennedy will get to view all her adoption file at the orphanage.
In the afternoon there is an Anniversary Ceremony and Kennedy and James will get to play with the kids who are living there and make dumplings with them and than they will all eat together..bring home the recipe guys..nothing like Chinese dumplings. We make them as a family at home and we all love them.
So sounds like a fabulous day in store. One that I am sure will be very emotional for James and Kennedy and me even though I am not there.
Here is a video of a child that was adopted from Yangzhou in 2007 .but it gives you a look into the Yangzhou Children's Welfare Institute and some of the children who call it home.
Here is a video of the streets of Yangzhou

A brilliant idea to put the youtube images of the orphanage and Yangzhou... it was so nice to see where they were. The babies with no one to feed them brought tears to my eyes though. Those tiny things shouldn't be alone with their food. Sigh. I laughed at the few cars trying to get along that side street with all the small vehicles. It seems so much more human scale. The video about Yangzhou was beautiful. Very nice song.
