What a day! Andrew was not at all happy about all of this but is quickly warming up to us. We took the train from Shanghai to Nanjing. There were a couple of stops along the way and guess who got on the train? Andrew and his nannies. Tom told me Andrew was on the train and I didn't believe him at first. Sure enough about 10 rows up there he sat. Then we had to watch him get off the train and disappear into the large crowd. A short time later we met up again at the civil affairs office. There were 2 little boys and lots of tears. One of the nannies was very kind and concerned about the boys. We will see them again tomorrow to finish up the paperwork. We just hung around at the hotel for the rest of the day. We are with another family who has a boy from the same orphanage. We let the boys explore the lobby but that is about it for today. Please welcome Andrew Youxuan Porter.

Oh you guys, He is AMAZING!!!! I just love him already. Congratulations. What a cool story about him being on the train with you. I can't believe you recognized him. Awwww he is just perfect, and he looks so little. Give him hugs and kisses from all of us.

Congrats. Not sure how you restrained yourself on the train. I would have been going crazy. Where is your son from. Ours is from Wuxi so we took that same train to visit the orphanage. I hope your trip goes well and your little guy transitions smoothly.

Have a good trip back.
