I think one of the highlights of this time, is that Will was able to connect with a dear friend from Shanghai. Liam was adopted several months ago and the two boys were able to catch up. I'm sure it was a great encouragement to Will to be able to share some of his feelings with his friend who has been through the same situation. Will told Liam he was" a little scared, a little not scared", completely understandable feelings. Liam told him about the long plane ride home to America. However, it sounds like most of the call centered mostly on typical "boy talk" the joys of bike riding and rollarskating, Liam introducing Will to his brother, telling Will about school, showing Will his broken foot, ect... Hopefully when Keith and Will settle in the next part of their trip, the boys can Skype again. Will is the boy pictured on the computer screen, Liam is sitting with his headset on, ready to take his call.
Speaking of which, they will be leaving Shanghai in the morning for Gaunghzou (formally Canton). This is where the American Embassy is. Will will have a physical, any immunizations he needs, apply for his Visa, and take an Oath to our country. The minute he lands on American soil he will be an American!
They will have to wait for the Visa so they will go on more sightseeing with the guides and other families. The weather there is fantastic, everyday is forecast upper 70's and sunny! Lucky dogs, but I guess Keith earned it.
