We received or travel approval today, right on time (Thank you God)! We will have our confirmed dates by Monday, but tentatively we will NEED to be in China from the 17th -30th of April. Those dates would encompass going to Lauran's province and finalizing her adoption with that province. Then fly to another province and finalize the adoption with the U.S.A. Plus all the sightseeing and shopping in between. If any one is counting, that is 14 days in China. Hey, but that's not all. We were also hoping to see Beijing this time...Great Wall and all the cool sights(which I am not about to spell) that you normally think of when you think of China, are in Beijing. That would have us leaving on the 14th. Can anyone say 17 days in China. 17 days in a hotel with 3-4 kids :)
The province Lauran is from is Guangxi, and Guangdong province(which is on the direct right of Lauran's province) is where we go to finalize the adoption with the U.S. You should be able to see them on the above map. They are in southern China near Vietnam.
Ok..so we are so excited..but now the race to get everything together and ready to pack begins...with less than 2 weeks!!! A task I dread..but dread with excitement. Just like labor. You know the next step is going to be hard and painful but completely worth it!!
