So the passport that arrived yesterday went in the overnight mail this morning on its way to Chicago to be hand-delivered to the Chinese Consulate to apply for Visa's to allow us entry to China. There is an adoptive mom in Chicago who provides the required hand-delivery of visa applications to the Consulate there for adoptive families. Her name is Denise Hope and her business is http://www.theres-always-hope.com/. If UPS "Next Day Air" delivers as planned, we could have our visa's back by Friday. Fingers crossed again as papers travel on planes yet again!
Also picked up prescriptions today for Ahn-Bao for various common illnesses in case he needs them while we're in China. Our pediatrician has been so helpful and supportive. Discovered that our health insurance won't cover our boy until he's actually "placed" with us (which is 12 days now) so the cost of the prescriptions is out of pocket -- but will be well worth it if it's needed!
Got such a thoughtful message from my Aunt Cindy today (she always says just the right things) that I have to share, she said, "Oh I can't stop thinking about that boy being put in your arms. I can just hear you talk gently to him. He is a lucky kid." We are so blessed to have this boy and to have such great family supporting us!
Aunt Sandy also passed along the following update on Ahn-Bao on the Xi'an Yahoo Group:
"Kieran [this is the English name that the English-speaking volunteers at the orphanage use for Ahn-Bao] was his usual gentle happy cuddly self & also was glad to come out & play with aunty sandy & the rest of us!" Aunt Sandy is an Angel with our boy there!
