China

Pictures really don't do it justice. The scale is so much larger than you would think. The Soviet influenced Tienanmen Square is in stark contrast to the Forbidden City across the street.
I have never been around a more gracious and friendly people. They are all very willing to help out a foreigner (or have their picture taken with the foreigner's blond haired son).
Today we are in Nanchang and will be getting our baby. It is a very exciting time but I can't help but feel a little sad as I think that: while I am writing this she is being removed from everything she has ever known.It is not just our lives but her's that will be changed forever.
We are thankful for all who are praying for us and look forward to seeing you again. Our website www.keeners.net should be updated soon with pictures.

    I just found your website and add the link to the Shipmate Links on ssbn616.homestead.com.

    I enjoyed your comments about China, my wife is from Tianjin which is about 1 hour south-east of Beijin. We have been in Beijin many times.

    Congratulations on your new family.
