Day 7 - Off on a Safari!

Today we went to a safari park. It was filled with animals. The first part was a tram ride through the wilder and larger animals. The safari has 60 white tigers and almost as many giraffe. The second part was the walk through zoo where we saw 4 pandas, a koala area as well as other smaller animals.

Every day, we met others we have met on-line, so it is fun to meet in person and see the children we have all been waiting for. With the wait for the non special needs program in China being so long now, the hotel is filled with families adopting older or special needs children. It is so good to see these children bonding with their new families. One little girl in our group went so far as to tell her orphanage that she was American now and didn't have to listen to them anymore! It is also good to see so many families adding a second or third child. The older siblings are a huge help in connecting the new ones with the families.
