China: Getting Leila Part 3 of 3

My name is Peter Conn. My wife is Gail and our son,8 1/2 years old, is named Miles. The 3 of us traveled to China this summer of 2009. These are some videos taken with my new iPhone 3GS. The mission was to go and get our 6 1/2 year old daughter who we would be adopting and calling Leila Conn. After nearly 5 years of paperwork between the US and China, we were finally doing it. We flew to Hong Kong then took a train to Guangzhou where we met her for the first time. During the two weeks that it took to complete the paperwork for the adoption, the passport, and the visa for her to enter the US, the four of us were mostly in Guangzhou, 4 days in Shanghai, one day to Yang Chun where her orphanage was located, then finally 4 days in Hong Kong at the end before we returned to Los Angeles. The stills have a more complete coverage but these images have sound and move and give a taste of the adventure. I only video recorded at certain times so it's highly selective. All 3 parts are about 14 minutes total.
