Tuesday, January 15th: We had to wake the girls early, which
they weren’t very happy about. We met Michael in the lobby at 7:40AM and
arrived at the American Consulate a little after 8AM. We had an 8:30AM appointment but they didn’t even have us
take our “group oath” until a little after 9AM. Then they called each adoptive
family up to the window for a few questions. They had Lia and I both sign a
paper stating that we understood that Lia would become a citizen upon landing
in the United States. I was just
glad that Lia again agreed to come to the US and signed…since, just that morning…she
told our guide that she missed her school and friends and wanted to see themL I am sure reality is really going to sink in
for her once we get to Warsaw, Indiana.
After the consulate, we came back to the hotel…got the girls ice cream
as promised and then walked to the Martyrs’ Memorial Garden. The girls are about parked out I think but we do not want to just sit in our
hotel room so off we went a walkingJ After a couple hours we headed back towards the hotel and stopped
in for lunch a Mexican restaurant. Then it was back to the hotel for some down
time…and to let the girls rest.
Tomorrow we will receive Lia’s passport with Visa attached in the
afternoon and then we will be officially DONE!!! We will head to Hong Kong
about 4:30PM tomorrow.
