ok, so we now have our official timeline for our days in China. as you know, we leave on Wednesday, 7/28. we arrive in Beijing on 7/29. the first couple of days will be for us to get use to the time change and to tour Beijing (looking forward to seeing this beautiful place). side note: got the new HD camcorder today. awesome.
on Sunday, 8/1, we will fly to Zhengzhou. this is the capitol city of her province. then on Monday, 8/2, we will take a bus to the registration office TO RECEIVE OUR CHILD! since they are about 12 hours ahead, when you wake up Monday morning, you will know we are parents. we stick around here the next few days to get to know Natalie and get some paperwork completed. hopefully we will immediately be good parents and not FREAK OUT (i am betting on the freak out part on my end).
on Friday we leave for Guangzhou. this is in southern China and relatively close to Hong Kong. this is the final leg of our time in China. we will be spending time each day at the US Consulate working making everything final so that Natalie will be a US citizen when she gets to the US.
Finally, we fly out on Friday 8/13 and get into Louisville on Saturday morning. We will gladly let our family and friends at the airport meet her before we leave for Glendale and hibernate for at least a week.
it is almost time!
Is this the official official timeline or should we wait for Amy's corrections? Have fun and make sure you keep us updated!
ReplyDeletei got this straight from the schedule sent by our agency. however, she is a woman and i am sure she will find something to complain about...hopefully she doesn't read this.
