Welcome to the "Bringing Xiao-Ling Home" blog! As we go to and travel throughout China to bring our daughter Xiao-Ling home, this will chronicle our journey for the benefit of family, friends, colleagues and others who want to follow along. We'll keep it updated as much as we can with text and photos.
So what's happening right now? Well, we renewed our passports - and a big shout out to the staff at Rep. Rush Holt's office, who no doubt helped to cut the turnaround time to only ten days from mailing to receipt - got our travel guide and are getting an idea of our itinerary.
What we're waiting for now is the referral - the official document that asks if we want to adopt her as opposed to someone else. (Fat chance!) Our adoption agency says we should get it soon, and we are waiting with bated breath. Once we actually get the referral, we can get our visas from the Chinese consulate in New York and make our travel plans. We've already learned that Continental flies nonstop from Newark to Beijing and back, which will make things easier.
More updates as they happen!
