Early Thursday morning we had our consulate appointment, this is the final step for Maddie's citizenship. We had to present all of our documentation from immigration through our complete referral, match and placement time period. Before we left I had checked and double checked to make sure I had all of the paperwork we needed. It was still stressful to go through each part of the process hoping you had the right papers at the right time. Fortunately I had them all right!
After this appointment it is a tradition to have photos of the babies in their Chinese silk dresses on the red couches at the White Swan Hotel. There is always at least one baby in the group that is crying and the rest are bewildered at why they are sitting there in the first place. We were all shocked when it was Dani who was the one in tears! She is the happiest little girl, unfortunately she was coming down with the same respiratory bug that the rest of the girls had. I also got a few photos of our family and then one of her and Karis.
