Today was US Consulate appointment day (no cameras allowed there). Everything went wonderfully. Mainly because all of the paperwork had been
done ahead of time and this was the final thing they needed before issuing
Susan’s visa. Tomorrow our guide will go
back to the consulate to pick up the children’s Chinese passports with the US visas
in them and we’ll be all set to come home!
We’re really looking forward to getting home except we’ll miss the
breakfast buffet and also having someone making all of our decisions for us. But it’ll be nice to be able to drink the
water and do laundry.
This afternoon we walked through a beautiful park right by
our hotel. Susan had fun looking at all
the fish in the pond. She also likes
riding in the stroller – especially when her brothers drive her fast or all
crooked.

Last night Susan had a big hysterical 2-hour crying session
before falling asleep. My heart breaks
for her, as she seems so confused and panicked.
The rest of the night was fine and today she did great.
This evening we did group photos. I’ll include one of all
the babies. A note about pictures: We
pulled my nice camera out on gotcha day as we arrived at the place where we
were getting our kiddos and found out that it wasn’t working. It had a full battery as I’d put one in and
tested it that morning. It was just
dead. I can’t imagine a worse time for
it to go. And it hasn’t worked
since. Thankfully I have a decent camera
on my cell phone since that’s what we’ve been using the whole time. Crazy.
