We finished up our shopping today and packed all our suitcase to get ready to leave tomorrow morning. We have to take our oath at the Consulate today at 3:00pm. Peter is coming to take us with 7 other families. We are all riding the same bus together. I am really sad about leaving. We will celebrate our last night in China by eating from Lucy's, our favorite eating place.
The bus was full on our trip to the Consulate and I didn't think there would be enough seats for everyone. There were all small babies except for one couple who was adopting an older girl, I say about 9 years old. There were a couple special needs babies too. We were congratulated by an American Official who was from the Bronks, in New York. It was so funny to be half way around the world and see Americans working in China. His congratulatory speech was very touching and when we raised our right hands to take the oath, I couldn't help but tear up thinking of the journey we had taken to bring Meizi home and all the months of waiting and preparing for her, wondering who she would be and what she would be like. A dream has truly come true for us and we can't imaging our life without Meizi in it. She is truly a part of us and will be part of our family forever! We love her so after such a short period of time. It just feels and seems like she was meant to be part of our family and our daughter!
