I thought I'd give a little information about where Genei has been living and where we will are going to be staying for a least a week of our China visit.
Genei lives at the Ji'Nan City Social Welfare Institute (orphanage) in Shandong province, about 400 miles south of Beijing. Ji'Nan is a city of rich history and about 6 million people. Jinan is known as the "Spring City" because of the large number of springs in the city. It is also the only city in China where they say the water is safe to drink. Even so , I don't think we will be taking any chances.

What great pictures! I am SO happy for you!
I screamed when I saw the highlighted area on the map - I am always on the lookout for others who are adopting/have adoped from Jinan. Do NOT drink the water. Our guide told us to be very careful. We were amazed at the people we saw (Chinese) filling jugs at the spring near our hotel. Jinan is a wonderful city and we missed it greatly when we went to Guangzhou. You can see pics of Jinan on our blog - www.bringingmeimeihome.blogspot.com. Congratulations!!!!!
