Just Back From Meeting..

We just got back from meeting with our China Coordinator to give her the "care box" for Mia (she will ship it out for us) and to sign our Visa applications . She was able to answer a few more questions we had. I had read somewhere that oftentimes, foster babies will spend their days in the orphanage then go home to the foster family at night. She does not think this is the case with Mia. The only time she would go to the orphanage is for check-ups. Also, we will be getting updated info and pictures at some point. Since the orphanage doesn't have a camera, she has to be taken to "the studio" to have her picture taken and they will also send updated info on her measurements. The best 'guess' for when we will travel is the end of April. We are still waiting for our travel approval so it is still up in the air. During April, there is a Trade Fair in Guangzhou which basically shuts down most other activity. We need to go to Guangzhou to complete the paperwork, so we would go to Mia's province first, then go to Guangzhou at the end. For her "care box", we sent a blanket, disposable camera, Classic Pooh Bear, Pooh rattle and a small photo album with pictures of us, Grandpa and Kayla.
We would like to thank everyone for being so happy for us! It is overwhelming that we have so many good friends, family as well as people we have never met wishing us well!
