We have a Consulate Appointment!

It's official - we have an appointment at the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou on March 10th. We hope to leave Dallas on February 25th, and should return about the 11th. Based on the finalized itineraries of those going to other provinces, this should put us in Nanchang to receive Sydney by February 28th. The rest of the time will involve paperwork and ceremonies in Nanchang and Guangzhou, with (hopefully) a fair amount of down time to get to know our daughter. Wow, "our daughter" - I'm enjoying saying that, but it still takes getting used to!

We will be working with the travel agents used by our adoption agency to finalize tickets and reservations this week, and I'll post more information as I have it.

It's finally here! It's starting to get really "real" isn't it? I can't wait to see your faces as you come off the plane with your little angel. I hope it's on the 11th because I'm on a plane to Florida( for 5 days) on the 12th. It would break my heart to miss it. I can imagine the broad, broad smiles on your faces now. It's a great picture.-Joan
