Oath-taking...Seeing grandparents..Home-coming



On September 9, at 3pm everyone in the group boarded a bus for the US consulate. We got to the consulate about 35 minutes later. It was a relatively easy process. First we went to a window and then they confirmed our identity. We then waited and finally a representative came out and had us take an oath. There were approximately 50 families total swearing in that day. I was the only Chinese. This appointment made our adoption final in the eyes of the USA . We couldn't take pictures or video of the event. After that, we received our packet of documents which we are to give to the immigrations officer at San Francisco Airport.

We saw Grandma and Grandpa on September 11. Amelia loves them. Who wouldn't? After all, Grandma's cooking is the best in the world.

On September 12, we arrived in San Francisco. My DH Bing and DS Jonathan, holding a big doll, were waiting to meet us. It was the most beautiful scene. We are finally home.
