After playing tourists for two exciting days in Beijing, we’re brimming with anticipation. It’s finally time to meet Daphne!
In this third and final episode of Adopting Daphne, we fly south to Guangzhou where Steph and Daphne meet for the first time. We spend nine days getting acquainted, going to scheduled appointments, completing official paperwork, and exploring the city. At the end of it all, a family will be complete.

Such a beautiful story, Lisa. One I’m sure this family will treasure always. You have a gift. You captured and documented moments, sights, sounds, words, emotions, culminating in the making of a family. Thanks for sharing their story so beautifully. XOXO
Rose, I’m so glad you enjoyed their story. It continues to be a lovely journey, and I’m thrilled to have a window into it. And “Adopting Daphne” was the inspiration for ecopsyched! I’m grateful you tuned in! ❤️
