We're on official countdown now. Today the Visa appointment went all well. Tonight we're going on a cruise on the Pearl River right next to our hotel. Tomorrow will be a bit of last minute shopping, as well as Emily's official oath at the American Consulate in the afternoon.
We're so lucky with Emily. I was speaking with one mother who was distraught and had been here for 16 days and had to continue as the baby they brought to her was gravely ill. Eventually the baby had to be returned to the orphanage and now they have a 16 mo. old that was brought to them. Oh, how painful that must have been for them! I can't even imagine.
Aina also tells us that there were at least two families this morning that had Visa problems and couldn't complete their paperwork. As a result, they too have to stay in country until it is all resolved.
Needless to say, this picture of Emily depicts our joy to be coming home soon !!!
