We hope to travel in 6-8 weeks and stay for two weeks in China before bringing Kendy home by year-end. The next step is to schedule an appointment with the US Consult in Guangzhou, China where we will be issued a Visa to bring Kendy into the USA.
Taylor is so excited to finally get her little sister, her mei mei (may may). The paperwork process actually began in January of 2006 and China received and logged us in on May 16, 2006. The wait has been at times unbearable, but also we were given time to be with Taylor and that is a treasure we will always cherish.

Congrats on your daughter! She is beautiful. We adopted our daughter from Lianjiang SWI 9 months ago. She came to us so well taken care of. My husband was able to visit the SWI so we have lots of pictures and video. If you're interested, our Gotcha movie is here: http://vimeo.com/10596825 and it has pictures and footage of the orphanage, nannies and directors. Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! We have a daughter from LianJiang SWI. She is now 4. (We've been home 3 years). What a joy! There were 8 girls in our group all from the same SWI. They are beautiful girls all doing wonderfully! Enjoy the coming weeks! This coming journey is amazing!
