Chelsea's Help International

Introducing: Chelsea’s Help International – Helping Orphans in China We had fun playing with the kids at the Zhongshan Childrens Welfare Institute (ZCWI). The ZCWI is one of 56 orphanages in the province of Guangdong . The ZCWI is home to over 300 children. We wanted to do something for the place that gave Chelsea a home for the first 2 years of her life. We plan to send shipments over a couple of times a year. We want to start by sending soccer balls to our friends at the ZCWI. If you would like to help, send your contributions to: CHI PO BOX 2633 Ruston, LA 71272. We would like to send by April 1, 2013. Thanks for sharing.

Guangzhou

We flew out of Beijing this morning at 8:00 and arrived in Guangzhou. We are the only family from our group whose province is here. We met our guide and walked around the neighborhood. It is a very busy city with neighborhoods tucked in. I will post pics later.

Tomorrow we will get Graham a haircut so his sister can see his eyes and then go to the bank to exchange our cash for the adoption fees. We meet Chelsea at 2:30 tomorrow. I will post pics as soon as she is asleep for the night and we are through staring at her:).

I have to remind myself that we just aren't on a great vacation. Tomorrow our lives change forever! Thanks for the prayers and support. They mean so much coming from half way around the world.

    Oh, I can see lots of tears and hugs on the horizon. I'm just so excited for you all and little Chelsea just has no idea all the love that is awaiting her. Hugs across the sea!

    I got your text! Yes both post were from me. I am so glad you all made it to Guangzhou. Do you like the hotel? Amazing, right?! How was Graham's haircut? Turner and the girls got their haircut there. The salon was just around the corner from the hotel. The stylist were so cute and sweet. They were all so attentive, they just could not understand a word we were saying. We laughed the whole time we were there. Kenley was the only one who could communicate with them and she hated her hair when they were done. Her first salon experience was not so great! I hope Graham's was better, post pics!!
    It is after 10 there and I am sure you are in bed or soon will be (if you are able to sleep). We are praying for you guys as tomorrow is the big day!!!
