Must celebrate the little milestones too!!

One of the bumps in our road has been that after we ordered our state certified copy of our marriage license from the State of Hawaii, and then sent it off to Los Angeles to be authenticated by the Chinese Consulate-we discovered that for 10 years there has been a typo on our license. Now it is minor-they transposed two letter's in my mother's maiden name, which is really not that big of a deal-well until you decide you want to adopt a baby from China. So after $66 and 4 weeks of waiting the first time-we decided that while we waited for some other things to move forward(not pointing any fingers-INS) that we would just go ahead and request a new one with the correction made. Well, what took 27 days to do in April-took exactly 58 days to accomplish this time, and they still charged us $66-But it finally arrived today! Yeah-bells,whistle's and the mailbox happy dance. So now we just sit and wait, and pace until that little piece of paper from the INS shows up-and then things are really going to start moving. I want to send a shout out to my friend Marney in Missouri-they received that little piece of paper from the INS today-after waiting 8 weeks and 2 days. Her party is just getting started.
Anyway, it was fun to get something that we needed in the mail today-hasn't happened in awhile-love filing something away in "The Book"
Good night
We are still hopeful for an Aug DTC
