One of the final stages of our adoption is to have Gracie "officially" examined.
The medical office was about a 10 minute walk form the hotel. It was extremely peaceful as we are on an island right now... not a big one mind you but one none the less. We walked through a beautiful park and by a school... it was very pretty. As you can see, Gracie was all set for her exam....
The "examine" consists of three stations:
1. The medical/surgery station where we are asked general questions about her health since with us. I was a bit hesitant to share her congestion as they are really on the look out for SARS. But with the help of Shiyan, we were able to get through this station and come out with a prescription for her. Also at this station, they took measurements of her head, took her temp, listened to her heart and checked her diaper. Here is what Gracie thought about this station...
2. Here you see me preparing my daughter for the awful task of getting weighed and measured..... by the way... she is now 22.7 lbs..... this explains why she is fitting comfortably in to the 12mos outfits we brought.... 18 mos hangs a tad bit but very nice to be able to wear some of the cute 12 mos ones!
3. Here is the ENT station. I honestly don't remember what took place here other than the doc looking in Gracie's ears and down her throat...
Once we returned to our room.... it was play time and all was right with the world!

Hi Guys,
Brian and I were just looking at the pictures beginning from the first day you had Gracie until now. She looks like a totally different baby. In just a few days she looks healthier and happier. It mus be because she is with her mommy, daddy, and brother now. We are so excited for you guys!!!
Take care, we are praying that God protects all of you and places a hedge of protection around you while traveling back to the states. Enjoy your last few days in China.
~Summer
