Journey to Lily 莉莉

Our journey to adopt our daughter from China

Saturday, August 12, 2006

Our Visas have arrived!

We have received our visas to visit China! We had to send off our original passports to the Chinese embassy in San Francisco in order for our visas to be processed and we were really happy that we got everything back yesterday. It's a little scary sending off your passports in a UPS envelope, but like everything else in this adoption process, it's just another leap of faith. We're now one more step closer to Lily :-)!!! Now we wait for official "travel approval" from China which should come late this month or early next month. Once we have TA, we need to be prepared to travel as soon as the following week.

Spent the morning at Babies R Us with my friend Betsy and her 4-month old son, Andrew. I needed one last run through with an experienced mommy and Betsy was kind enough to offer up her mommy shopping skills. Andrew slept the entire hour+ (such a good baby!) and afterwards we had a nice lunch.

Congratulations!!! That is a huge relief for you I'm sure. We are still waiting on our visa paperwork to arrive so we can apply.
