Visas Arrived

We did have a Fedex delivery this afternoon which included our Visas. We are relieved to have them in our hands and not have to worry about this step and the chances of the passports/visas getting lost in the mail or even worrying about getting approval for the Visas. We are still awaiting news of our consulate appointments that we have to obtain once we get in China to finalize the adoption. Once we have these appointments made, then we can go ahead and go forth with our travel arrangements as far as purchasing airline tickets, making hotel reservations, etc. The appointments were requested on Thursday (July 24) and it is supposed to take between 1-6 business days to get the confirmation of the appointment dates. We are hoping to get the appointments confirmed within the next few days since we are on day #3 and things have seemed to pick up speed dramatically since our referral and have leaned more towards sooner rather than later in other areas so far. So hoping for appointments to come through tomorrow. Will keep you posted.
