An Unexpected Gift!

Our computer has been humming today with emails from two adoptive moms.   These moms both have children from our new daughter's orphanage.  One of the moms was just there last month meeting her son.  She told me that her son and our daughter have been friends at the orphanage.  Both moms were kind enough to email me some recent photos of our girl.  What a gift!  I can hardly wait to go get her now.

Final Steps

All of our adoption documents are now in China and will remain there for the last two steps.  Exciting stuff!  On the down side, all of the government agencies in China are on holiday from October 1-7.  We have been hearing that the last two steps are going very quickly for many adoptive families recently.  I don't want to get my hopes up, but I think November travel may still be possible. 

Unfortunately three of our kids' passports were expired when I tried to submit paperwork for our Visas this week.  I was unaware that passports are only valid for 5 years for minors, whereas adult passports are valid for 10 years.  Today we had to apply for and expedite the three passports to the tune of about $600 more.  Uggh!  At least we should be able to get them soon enough to apply for our Visas about mid October.  Wouldn't it be awesome if we had to expedite our visas because we were traveling so soon?!
