Consulate Appointment

Today, our consulate appointment was at 11:00. I spent the time in the hotel room, waiting by the phone. Our coordinator attended the appointment and handled all the paperwork and said she would call before noon if there was a problem with the paperwork. It is now noon, and I have not received any phone calls, so our paperwork must have been deemed acceptable. Yippee!

That paperwork consisted of a bunch of forms that we spent over two hours filling in on Monday, a bunch of notarized documents that we got in Xi'an, Abigail's passport, the adoption certificate, and some paperwork we brought from home.

Other than some post-adoption reporting requirements, this is the end of the paperchase.
