Where in China?

Tao currently lives in Liaoning Province. Dalian is the city where his orphanage is located and because it is such a large and beautiful city it is usually talked of by itself, no province necessary.
Tao, however, is not in Dalian right now because he attends a boarding school for orphans in another city. John will, as usual, also travel to Guangzhou to the embassy before returning home.

Guo Tao -- Andon Tao Blake

We are so excited to announce another adoption! We saw and learned about Guo Tao a little over a year ago, just after we turned in paper work for Bowen. Because Tao was 11 at the time, we took the matter very seriously and studied and prayed much to discover what Heavenly Father's will was for this boy. We felt so much peace about him being added to our family that we started the process. He has been waiting a long time for his family -- he's been in the orphanage since 3 years old. We are excited for this adventure to start. We think he looks like he's got quite a personality. We plan to give him the American name: Andon Tao Blake.
