Jaylynn Mae Lian Smits

Niece Carmen posting another update from the Smits:

Tuesday Morning: Today we left the hotel an walked to the adoption affairs office. We had our picture taken as a family and they did a short interview asking us some basic questions. What are our jobs? When were we married? Why we wanted to adopt? How many children we already have? We are the only ones in our group who have other children. After that visit we went right over to the notary office where we answered very similar questions and signed some papers. Our translator and facilitator, Echo is her name, has done an outstanding job making plans and taking us to the different offices. We are finished with paperwork in this city. The next two days we are able to sight see. Friday we travel to GuangZhou to do paperwork there before going home. In 20 minutes Echo is taking us to a local restaurant. Hope all is well with everyone in America. Love you,

Jason, Gina and Jaylynn
