James 1:27

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" James 1:27


"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the East and gather you from the West. Isaiah 43:5 NIV

US Consulate (Day 10)

We have a 10:00am appointment with the US Consulate for our swearing in ceremony.  All the families gather in a room with their adopted parents and recite the adoption creed.  After the meeting, we head back to the hotel.  We meet at the famous red couches of White Swan for group photos.  That evening, all the families head out for a dinner cruise along the Pearl River. 
There were about 20 cameras taking our picture.  I did not know which one to smile at.

James was in China by himself, his wife stayed home with their other children.  He adopted TWO on this trip.  He adopted Bella (lap) in another province before coming to Guangzhou.  In Guangzhou, he adopted Deanna (middle).  Hannah on the left end was adopted years ago.  He was probably the "most with it" parent.  Kuddos James.
