We made it back to Beijing! (i.e. we got Teresa's U.S. Visa)
Quick post, no pics, our local agency in our state was able to fax over to the U.S. Consulate last night an addendum saying we can handle a child with a minor special need (like a heart murmur). This morning our guide went and picked up our U.S. Visa for Teresa and gave it to us as we were boarding the bus on the way to the airport. Hooray! Now we are staying overnight in Beijing before flying home, yippee! We have a 13 hour flight ahead of us to Chicago tomorrow so we are on schedule and on track. Boy, we are so ready to get home! Take care and the next time I'll post will be stateside!

notes from a fellow traveler to china. when we got back - recently completed additional paperwork.
1. we wanted her passport and completed that pretty quickly. with our first girl, 2002, we only have a 10 year green card, homeland secuity - was between systems. our 2nd - recieved perm card immed.
2. for both our girls we went to the county/state for a state birth certificate. easy but more paper work. this way when in school etc, their paperwork will look similar, and will not be questioned!
Plus all this made us feel better, yes they are citizens, but we wanted all the corrsponding doc's that all other children here, have!
good luck, GOD bless, Enjoy!
