Week 29

It has been 29 weeks since we received pre-approval from the China Center for Children’s Welfare Activities to proceed with Kyle’s adoption. 

This week has been…

Hectic.  That is all.

Big Adoption News:  We have our Consulate Appointment!  Our “exit interview” is scheduled for August 20^th, so now we are able to make our travel arrangements, which we are in the process of doing right now.    

Next Up…

Just waiting to firm up the last details of our trip.  Our agency makes some of the arrangements for us and we make some of the arrangements ourselves through a travel agent that is familiar with adoption travel.  Once we have all of the details hammered out I will post our itinerary.  We do know that we are going to meet Kyle on the 11^th of August at 4:30 PM and THAT is very exciting news. 

 

 

Fun Things We Did This Week:

We stayed pretty close to home and are focused on getting prepared for our trip.  We had a fun afternoon out at a shrimp boil today but mostly, we’ve been focused on cleaning, sorting, packing for two back-to-back trips (more on that later) and getting the little necessities taken care of (kenneling the cat, stopping the mail, MASSIVE freezer cooking efforts so we will have meals ready to eat when we get back). 

Yes…this is really happening.
