Runny Noses

With all the euphoria, baby Jasmine has come down with a runny nose. Several kids in our group have been sick in the past couple of days. So it has been off to the hospital to see doctors, getting prescriptions filled, apparently children often get upper respiratory tract infections in the summer months in China's orphanages.

So we've been taking it easy. Not straying too far away from the hotel. But we did get baby Jasmine's passport application in today. We visited a very modern police office to have her photograph registered in a national databank.

We are hoping to make it out on one of the many excursions that Children's Bridge, the adoption agency has organized for our group. Tomorrow it's the zoo in Guangzhou. If baby Jasmine is feeling better, we are hoping to take part in the outing.

She is a very sweet little girl, even when she's feeling a little under the weather. More on the zoo tomorrow.
