Consulate Appointment

Today is our Consulate Appointment for Jensen. Our guide David is going to take care of it all for us. We met with him yesterday and filled out all the paperwork that needed to be done for this appointment. There's just so much paperwork involved with adoption. It truly amazes me how much has to be done for a single adoption.
Tomorrow we will all go to the U.S. Consulate and do our swearing-in ceremony. We will take our oath for him to become our son and an American citizen.
The U.S. consulate is about a 30 minute drive away from our hotel. Our guide said it used to be so convenient because the former U.S. Consulate building was close to the White Swan and families could just walk there. No big deal, though. At least we get transportation to there and back.....that's all that matters to me!!!

I had heard about Danny's Bagel - through other sites and have been trying to tell Mike he is going to come home about 6 sizes smaller in clothes due to eating no food there... that is great that Jensen seems to be settling in ok and getting use to you both....

Imagine how much paperwork there'd be for twins!!! Wow. Your trip is coming to an end... its gone so fast! Bet you're ready for home though.

Danny's Bagel sounds fantastic! Pity we won't be going there unless our child is born in that province, as our consulate is in Shanghai... bummer!
