Getting Tian

Today our agency, Catholic Social Services, will fed-ex our dossier to the Chinese facilitator in the Baltimore area to be translated into Chinese. She will hand-carry our paperwork to the US government offices in Washington DC to receive all of the federal stamps. In the meantime, we will wait for the last piece of paper from Homeland Security, our 171H form. This form says we are allowed to adopt two children from China and bring them back to the United States to live. This form will be quickly translated and sealed as soon as possible after it comes. Then the paper chase is finished.
