This little guy wouldn't even sit on the couch!
Smiley!

"We'll only look at you from the back
of the couch!"
We had our oath ceremony today at the US consulate. Our adoption process in now finished here. Tomorrow Emma our guide will pick up the visa for Lottie and then we are homeward bound!!!!! The oath ceremony is very simple, but I felt very emotional. This journey has been very painful at times and to be standing there and knowing that this is it and Lottie is our daughter was almost more then I could do to hold back the tears. Lottie was again very scared as we entered the building. It was like she thought we were going back to the same building were she came to me at. She cried when they called her name and we went to get her papers. You could see the fear in her eyes. She was so happy when we got back in the bus.
We did more pictures today. It was a little better and candy helped!!! but I would have to say it was a lot of work trying to get the kids to sit and take one good picture. Enjoy the pictures of our red couch photos take two!!!
Love and hugs from China,
Teresa

Woo Hoo! The adoption part is done. What a relief for you. You have come so far and waited so long. Now to get home! We're still praying.
