Today we had an earlier start than we have the past
few days. We had to be in the lobby to
meet 5 other families in our group to go to the US Consulate for our visa
appointment and oath taking ceremony. It
was fun, but unfortunately our US Consulate will not allow you to bring
anything except paperwork into their building.
Today did NOT make Primrose a citizen, it just cleared the way for us to
get her visa for entry to the US. This
is the final step in our adoption journey here in China, even though we have to
wait until Friday to depart the country.
It has been an amazing time here China and I have come to enjoy the
culture here more and more. I will share
more about some of the unique cultural experiences that I have learned about
these wonderful people a little later on.
Primrose and Mommy are still doing great. She still would rather her daddy hold her
when given the option, but she will let mommy hold her. I think she finally gets that we are here to
stay and that she is stuck with us.
Thank you again for all of your prayers and feedback during our
attachment struggles last week, it was a tremendous encouragement.
I am posting early today because a few of the
families are going to go to a Mideastern Restaurant with live Belly dancers for
supper, this should be fun. I will leave
you with two pictures: the first one is a menu choice from the restaurant
mentioned and the second is our first family picture with Primrose on day 2
with her. Also, here is a video of
Primrose and what she says when she sees Belle on mommy’s phone… Sissie (Belle’s
new nickname). More videos and pictures
to come. Stay Tuned!
The US Dollar cost of this item... around $12
If they would have let me hold her, she wouldn't have been crying.
may have to turn it up... hard to hear, but she will not do it if she sees me videoing her.
