Mr. Lee entertaining several of the newly adoptive children. Mr. Lee has been wonderful, he baby-sits when the kids get cranky. Mr. Lee wrote and published a book, which he gave each child a copy of as a souvenir. The book is all in Chinese, so now we have to learn the language to be able to read it.

In the streets of Wuzhou, this little boy was enjoying lunch. Most of the children are at the stores owned by their family. The stores are just little holes in the buildings.

Here is a dentist office ready for patients. This was as clinically sterile as the hospital we visited in Nanning.

Mackenzie continues to blossom with personality everyday. Her smiles and laughter come more frequently.

Daddy and his 'little princess' playing together. We often just play in the hotel in the afternoon. This is called bonding time.

Our room at the Wufeng Hotel was not as nice as the one in Nanning, but still better than Kansas. Mackenzie doesn't care as you can see.

We were treated to a visit of the Orphanage where Mackenzie lived since 10 October 1998, when she was found abandoned on Long Sheng Island. The orphanage was well kept and fairly clean. It also served as an assisted living facility for the elderly. There wasn't a dry eye in our group after the tour because we saw so many babies waiting to be adopted. Everyone wanted to take the babies home.

Here we are on another bus ride to Guangzhou. I got sick after this ride and daddy had to take care of Mackenzie the rest of the day, so this is the only picture today.
