Good news, bad news...

The good news... We received an EXCITING e-mail today! Our agency sent us a note today to let us know that our dossier has moved to the "Match Room!" This is exciting news, because it means that our dossier has been reviewed and the next step is for our travel notice to be sent. Usually this will arrive at our agency in a few weeks! Once it arrives, our agency will request a consulate appointment for us in Guangzhou. This consulate appointment is the last thing we must do before we can leave China with Little Brother.

According to my estimations, we should be departing sometime between Nov 6th and Nov 20th. Hopefully on the sooner end of things so that perhaps we can be back for Thanksgiving!

So, here is the bad news... Little Brother will be having a birthday on October 26th in China without us (sigh).

In the meantime, we have our next batch of paperwork. Nothing compared to the first batch, but we are on to applying for our Visa's and other miscellaneous travel documents.

Now we need to get serious about packing too! More soon!
