Several people have posted comments asking why we're in Chongqing so long after getting Grace. So I thought I'd post a quick entry explaining. Just before we left the USA, we received an email from our adoption agency explaining that there was a new rule in Chongqing that the local police department had to do something with processing the adoptive child's passport. So we had to stay an extra 4 days in Chongqing, and now we are waiting for that to take place, although we haven't heard anything from them.
I suppose that our guides would hear something and let us know if there were questions. It appears though that we're still on tap to leave here tomorrow afternoon for Guangzhou.
Today we had a worship service in the hotel business center that was led by one of the adoptive fathers. I don't know if he is a pastor of what his "qualifications" are for leading the service, but I have heard him talk about staying in contact with his pastor back home. So I think he may have volunteered to lead the service. Later we are headed out to Walmart on own in a taxi to see about getting a suitcase to pack all of our purchases from China in. Before we left, we expected to have to buy a suitcase, so this was part of the plan all along.

Passports are a messy thing these days with the homeland security. Hope everything goes well without any problems. Can't wait until you all announce you are home with your other daughters.
Take care, Chrissie
