2 weeks later....

I guess one thing about being sick for 2 weeks is that time really flew by. Well, in a way it flew by and in a way it dragged on and on! Sometime that first week I filled out forms that had to be mailed back to the agency by Friday. That was the paper that China sent to us asking if WE accept the referral on our little guy. Of course we accepted!! Duh! There was a bit of a question as that form has Little G's birthdate as April 26, 2006! That would make him almost 3 instead of 2. Well, we aren't going to reject him if he's a year older than what we think. We had noticed on the medical info that was sent to us early on in the process that one date had the 2006 date of birth, but everywhere else in that document had it as 2007. So, that's being checked on and hopefully it doesn't create any delays.

More paperwork that was filled out and mailed in during the past 2 weeks is our application for our visa to travel to China. We also filled out preferences for travel, taking the "Beijing" option. We decided that for the price difference we would go ahead and take the couple of days in Beijing before going to pick up Little G. We'll see the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, etc. All that while adjusting to the time change before flying to southern China to spend the last week in Guangzhou with our son! (Wow, our SON!--I like that!! :)

Here's an interesting fact about our son:
His Chinese name is San Wen Lian.
-->San is the number "3".
-->Wen has several meanings but "culture", "gentle" are some of them.
-->And Lian means to join, to ally.
So... his name means Join Three Cultures. How's that for joining a family of a Mom who is American, Dad is hispanic and little G is Chinese! Pretty cool, huh?!


I'm going to try to get some pictures taken and posted on here so you can see his room, some of the documents, etc. Sorry it has been a while between posts, but whatever I had really wiped me out! Sleep was gooooooood!! :)
