Our Visas Have Arrived!

Fed Ex came this morning with our Visas. Another step toward China!

We submitted our flight & name requests to our agency yesterday. This is the first time we have had to officially write out what Jade's American name will be. Somehow it did something to me. Every step is exciting at this point!

We continue to wait for TA (travel approval from China). When that comes, our agency will make an appointment with the US Consulate in Guangzhou so we can get Jade's Visa & passport. Once that appointment is made, our agency will make our travel reservations and we will travel 1 or 2 weeks later.

Time is moving faster & faster and we still have so many things to do before we go. That said, I must go to the bank & withdraw some cash for the trip. We have to get as close to new bills as possible. Clean & crisp. No wrinkles, fold lines, writing, fading. China values brand new American money. Don't know why, but they do.

So, here's to Fed Ex! They keep bringing such great things to our house!!!

Congratulations! I live up in Bangor and have 2 children who we adopted domestically as newborns. I can't remember how I found your blog, but have enjoyed reading about your journey to your baby girl.
