American impression III: home visit 3

As for Dave, he is a good father as well as a good dad. He cooked meal and made bed for Lily while Lisa had to take care of both Lily and us. The spaghetti with Italian sausages he make was terrific. I enjoyed it and stuffed my stomach to an extreme. He supports his wife, and kind of combines the family tightly as a whole.
Lisa and Dave adopted Lily in Lianjiang, a city in Guangdong Province. Everything related to this adoption has been carefully preserved, even the package of milk powder that Lily used in the orphanage. To help Lily grow up smoothly, the couple decide to tell her all the adoption thing in an appropriate time. Instead of breeding her in an totally American way, they want her to learn about and to love her heritage and Chinese culture, which makes me believe it more firmly that they deeply love Lily, the girl per se, including all her heritage from China, all her differences from themselves, but not only as a substitution of their own biological child. That moved me a lot.
Still a lot of things to write: Lily, the two dogs and the nice museum etc. Maybe the pictures tell better.
