On the way to the Consulate Appointment

This morning, we had our last official appointment for the adoption.
This was at the American Consulate, where we handed in all of our
paperwork in order to get Madison's Visa to come to America. It went
well and my facilitator will pick the Visa up tomorrow after 2pm. Then
we are free to leave China. Most of the families are leaving late
tomorrow afternoon to take a train to Hong Kong. Cathy, the girls and I
are leaving on Saturday morning and taking a plane to Hong Kong. While
it would have been nice to start our journey home earlier, it is all for
the best. By taking the plane to Hong Kong, we are able to check our
bags all the way through to New York. That will be much easier to manage
with two little ones. We are not permitted to take pictures in the
Consulate, so here is one taken just before we left the hotel this
morning....at 7:30 am!!!

2 more sleeps, I am so anxious to get home to my other girls!!!!!!!!!!!
