Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving and safe, if you are traveling. We have so much to be thankful for each and everyday, but at this time we are feeling extremely blessed.
We will be spending the day tomorrow at K's house with lots of family and friends, the perfect way to end a productive week!
I was able to expedite Sophia's passport on Monday, so that will now be arriving on Nov. 3oth. I will then take a day and go into the city to the Chinese Consulate and have our Visa's done, same day.
I air mailed a care package to Alena today and it should get to her within 4-7 days. We sent her a really soft blanket, a bear that Sophia picked out, a teething photo album with pictures of all of us and her nursery that have captions in Chinese telling what each photo is, as well as a disposable camera. I also enclosed three large Cadbury bars for her foster family. I wanted to send them a local treat and they are made in PA, the closest I could find in a hurry!! Our agency supplied us with a letter in Chinese saying who the package is for and asking her foster family to use the camera to capture her in her home life and with them and to return in on "Gotcha Day". We will cherish those photos forever.
Our social worker came and did our home visit today and said that she will have our completed report done on Monday. Just have to get a copy off to Immigration and then that's it!!
We wait for our final documentation to come back to us from them and then we can travel when our agency says it's time to go!!
Everything is falling into to place now, so I should start sleeping again soon!!
Love to all and I'll let you know when we get travel approval (TA)!

Hi hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving. Love her care package. I have the photo album also that I am sending in a care package, but I love the blanket. I have not seen anything like that anywhere. Keep in touch
