The Next Step

Yesterday we got our first email from our travel advisor. I'm sure this will be the first email in a long line of emails. One of the first things we have to do to get things rolling is to apply for our visa into China. Of course with this application we need to attach a passport photo. I don't know how many times Joe and I have had to run to Walgreens to get our passport photo for this adoption. You think that we would learn and keep both pictures that are given to us when purchased, but of course not. Luckily, this time I found our two photos lying in a pile of papers. No need to run and get new photos this time. My mom, who is going to China with us, was on the ball and already had given me her completed visa application so all I had left to do was complete our two applications and run to the post office to overnight the packages. These applications are a little scary to me because we need to send them our actual passports. I hope they don't get lost.

I'm hoping that we will receive word about our TA next week. We can only hope.
