NOV 17th

I received the BROWN ENVELOPE today from the American Consulate in Guangzhou. ooooh ahhhh. Basically it means that they have received my approval from the US to bring in an adopted child and make her an american citizen. It has all sorts of paperwork in this evelope, stuff to fill out to get Emily a visa so she can travel from China to the US. I've been told not to touch this stuff until I actually get to China. This packet also has a map of where the consulate is located, and some cool looking stuff in Chinese. It's official, they know I'm coming for Emily. I'm so excited right now!!!
