We have made it safely to Fuzhou,Fujian where Rics family lives. Our flight from Atlanta to Shanghai was lovely because since it wasn't nearly full, we had six seats to ourselves with me facing the bulkhead(I do Not like to look out) and having tons of legroom and play room for Ric. Today was a day of the remarkable contrasts that are China. This morning we ate a delicious breakfast in the atrium garden of the Shanghai Hilton. It felt like something out of a novel -perhaps F Scott Fitzgerald,
without the hats. This afternoon we flew to Fuzhou and were welcomed by Ric's aunt,cousin,and grandfather. They took us to drop our things off at our hotel and then we all got in two bicycle taxis for the drive to their home for dinner. I love bicycle taxis except when confronted by cars or buses. Rics cousin turned 20 today and speaks some English which helps alot. I am so glad we get to see this part of China because I believe it is the Real China, unlike the westernized version we will see in the two other cities we visit.

Last year we added two more children to our family ! We brought home Dominic, the little boy we first met when visiting Cheryl in 2006 in Yunnan and also Rosemary, a little girl who lived in Guangxi. Nellie, Rosie and Dominic will soon turn 12 so we have virtual triplets and Andy ,9.
We have had such fun with our new kids, that we are going to China for a fourth time! This year we will bring home two boys ages ten and eleven, who will fit nicely (we hope) in the middle of our kids. They currently live in Xi'an,Shaanxi and Shehezi, Xinjiang. I thought we went traipsing all over China the other times we were there, but those trips will totally pale next to the amount of country we will cover this time. I know Someone must be laughing at the way He is stretching this 'reluctant traveler'.

About Us
- Wright Family
- 2014-Jerry and I have been married 38 years. We are currently parents of 15, and soon to be 17, children. The first 8 are self supporting adults :) with only Ariel , the youngest of our first nine, still in college and living at home. After raising our first 9 children we thought we were finished until God took us on a serendipitous adventure that led to the adoption of 6 more children, 5 from China. That story is covered at andyweiwwright.blogspot.com .
