At 5:39 am this morning, our adoption agency sent us the email we've been waiting for - the Consulate's confirmation of our appointment. It is set for March 1, 2010 at 9:30 am.
We are to be in Kunming no later than the morning of February 21. By the end of the day February 21, Ella will be in our arms!
We will spend about a week in Kunming, then fly to Guangzhou where we'll spend the rest of our time. (More on what and why later...)
The last order of business will be the March 1 appointment, followed by an oath-taking ceremony on March 2, and obtaining travel visas on March 3.
We will get on the plane heading back home on March 4.
It is time to book those flights. Let the countdown begin!
