This is our journey of the unexpected adoption of a princess with Down syndrome waiting for us in China making us a family of 7!

Approved!

Yesterday we received, finally after 46 days, our approval to adopt a child from China!  There are 13 documents that have to be notarized and then approved by the Secretary of State and the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco and this is the last of the documents we needed.  Once we have the approval from these two places, off to China our documents go (DTC)!  This is always a great relief because this means everything on our end is all completed.  No more going to appointments, having things notarized, filling out paperwork, etc.  Now we just wait.  Once our paperwork is mailed to China, hopefully in a couple weeks, we will then get a date that our paperwork is logged into their system (LID) and from that point travel will be about 4 months!  That means early October is very likely!  Not very far away, really!!

Karsynn's birthday is the end of this month so we had a couple things sent to her.  We sent a photo album of some pictures of all of us so she can get familiar with us along with a letter, a Hello Kitty stuffed animal and a birthday cake!  When she gets her cake we will get some pictures of her with her cake...can't wait!  Love you, sweet girl!
